Escapaste means "you escaped" (from the verb escapar). It's an intriguing word because it suggests a magical or almost mythical origin for the beloved.
In the song, the lyric "Te escapaste de un cuento" (You escaped from a story) paints a beautiful picture of the person being so perfect and wonderful that they seem to have stepped right out of a fairytale. This poetic imagery makes the word stand out and adds a touch of enchantment to the romantic theme.
German Montero's "Vida" is a beautiful, heartfelt declaration of love that feels incredibly personal. The song is all about a love so profound it's like breathing. He tells us, "Vives dentro de mí, En el alma te siento" [You live inside me, I feel you in my soul], which perfectly sets the tone for how deeply connected he feels.
He even says, "Para amarte nací, Te escapaste de un cuento" [I was born to love you, You escaped from a story], making this love sound like destiny, something he's been waiting for since childhood. It's a really sweet image! The chorus, "Vida yo te amo mas Que al aire que respiro" [Life, I love you more Than the air I breathe], really drives home the intensity of his feelings. He's saying this person is essential to his very existence, and he only receives "mágicos momentos" [magical moments] from them. It's a pure, unadulterated love song.
