Quiero Lyrics in English Malu

Home / Lyrics Translation / Malu / Quiero

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quiero by Malu from Spanish to English.

I left without knowing

If I'll see him again

Without asking him for his address

Because I know

That in the end what happened yesterday

Only happens once

And that sometimes you insist

Chorus 1

On believing that giving your life

Is the best of routines

Chorus 1

And also

That he can be

Chorus 1

The one who brightens each day

Bringing light to every corner

Chorus 1

And I wouldn't lie

I won't fall again

I've learned to lick my wounds

To put the world under my feet

Get up and run

Every time a wound hurts me

I know that something good comes after

I want

I can

Chorus 1

I, who have learned to breathe from the sky

I want

I can

Chorus 2

I can fly

Live in freedom

We met again

A few years later

Fate wanted it

And so it was

I should go back

To leave once again

But sometimes you insist

On believing that it's destiny

The best of paths

And also

That he can be

The one who brightens each day

Bringing light to every corner

And I wouldn't lie

I won't fall again

I've learned to lick my wounds

To put the world under my feet

Get up and run

Every time a wound hurts me

I know that something good comes after

I want

I can

I, who have learned to breathe from the sky

I want

I can

I can fly

Live in freedom

I want

I can

I, who have learned to breathe from the sky

I want

I can

I, who have learned to breathe from the sky

I want

I can

I can fly

Live in freedom

SONG MEANING

Quiero captures the moment when love’s spark meets life’s crossroads. The singer remembers leaving a romance behind, convinced that yesterday’s magic only happens once. When fate makes their paths cross again, she feels the pull of a possible reunion yet senses the risk of falling into the same routine. This push-and-pull between destiny and free will turns the story into a relatable tug-of-war: should we trust serendipity, or protect the fragile freedom we’ve fought so hard to win?

At its heart, the chorus is an anthem of empowerment. Repeating Yo quiero, yo puedo — I want to, I can — Malú celebrates self-belief, resilience, and the courage to start over. She has learned to “lick her wounds,” set the world beneath her feet, and sprint toward new horizons, knowing that pain often signals growth. By the final refrain, “I can fly, live in freedom,” the song lifts like a declaration that true love begins within, and the sky is the limit for anyone brave enough to claim it.
