Nobody can hold all the water of the sea
In a glass
How many drops do you have to let fall
Until you see the tide grow?
How many times has it made you smile?
This isn't a way to live
How many tears can you keep
In your glass?
If you're afraid, if you're suffering
You have to scream and leave, run away
How many hits do the waves give
Throughout the day on the rocks?
How many fish do you have to catch
To make a desert of the bottom of the sea?
How many times has it made you shut up?
How long do you think you'll last?
How many tears are you going to keep
In your glass?
If you're afraid, if you're suffering
You have to scream and leave, run away
If you're afraid, if you're suffering
You have to scream and leave, run away
If you're afraid, if you're suffering
You have to scream and leave, run away

corriendorunning

Corriendo means "running". While it might seem like a common word, its use in the phrase "salir corriendo" (to run away or to flee) is particularly impactful in this song.

In the context of the lyrics, it's not just about physical running, but about escaping from fear and suffering. The song encourages listeners to "gritar y salir, salir corriendo" (scream and leave, run away), making corriendo a powerful symbol of taking action and breaking free from difficult situations.

Have you ever felt like you're trying to hold the ocean in a glass? That's the powerful image Amaral uses in "Salir Corriendo" to talk about keeping too much inside. They ask, "¿Cuántas lágrimas puedes guardar en tu vaso de cristal?" [How many tears can you keep in your crystal glass?] It's all about the pressure of holding onto fear and suffering.

The song really pushes you to let go. It's a direct message: "Si tienes miedo, si estás sufriendo, tienes que gritar y salir, salir corriendo" [If you are afraid, if you are suffering, you have to scream and leave, run away]. It's a call to action, urging you to break free from whatever is holding you back, rather than letting those emotions build up like water in a tiny glass.
