Quiero Ser Lyrics in English Amaia Montero
Emigrante means "emigrant," someone who leaves their home country to live in a new one.
This song uses the word in a stunningly creative metaphor: "Quiero ser una emigrante de tu boca delirante" (I want to be an emigrant from your delirious mouth). The singer isn't talking about travel; she wants to 'live' in her lover's words and kisses, making their mouth her new home. It's a powerful and unique way to express an all-consuming desire for intimacy.
Quiero Ser is Amaia Montero’s joyful love letter wrapped in poetic imagery. Throughout the song, she lists all the extraordinary shapes her affection could take: a clear word, a free-spirited soul at dawn, a fearless traveler across her lover’s lips. Every line is a wish to stay close, conquer doubts, and turn fragile moments into everlasting devotion. By asking to “sleep a la verita tuya” and to “walk by the sea still clinging to your waist,” the singer paints love as both comfort and adventure, a blissful locura she never wants to cure.
At the same time, the lyrics celebrate personal freedom. Amaia wants to “sing to liberty” and be the verb puedo (“I can”), showing that true love empowers rather than confines. The repeated chorus becomes a mantra of confidence: no matter how many questions arise, this passionate bond is what makes her happiest. With its sun-kissed coastal images and heartfelt pledges, Quiero Ser invites listeners to believe in a love that is tender, fearless, and wonderfully alive.
