Quiero cometer el error 
Más grande del mundo 
Y navegar en kayac 
De Miami a la Habana

Quiero tomarme un café 
Viendo el Mediterráneo 
Y despertarme en Tulum 
Persiguiendo una estrella

Quiero decirle a Jesús 
Qué sí está que aparezca 
Y qué me corten la luz 
Pa' prender una vela 
Y soñar 

Quiero regalarle una flor 
Al amor de mi herida 
Quiero empezar otra vez 
Y cambiarme hasta el nombre 
Quiero apedrear el zaguán 
De las causas perdidas 
Y ver salir a papá convenciendo a mi madre
Quiero escucharte decir lo que gritan tus ojos 
Quiero perder el valor que gané por miedoso

Y quiero correr por ahí 
Mientras trepo un cometa 
Y levantarle la falda a la gorda del barrio 
Quiero vivir sin guión ni la misma receta 
Quiero inventarle otra letra al abecedario 
Quiero olvidarme de ti 
Quiero saber que es por mi

Que quiero y no puedo querer 
Mientras siga queriendo 
Inútil creer que querer es lograr olvidarte 
Quiero encontrar otro amor 
Y perderlo enseguida 
Para olvidarme de ti para toda la vida

Quiero silbar "Let it be" a la luz de la luna 
Quiero lavar en el mar lo que no sea futuro 

Y quiero correr por ahí 
Mientras trepo un cometa 
Y levantarle la falda a la gorda del barrio 
Quiero vivir sin guión ni la misma receta 
Quiero inventarle otra letra al abecedario 
Quiero olvidarme de ti 
Quiero saber que es por mi

Quiero jugar a la alquimia 
Y buscar en el Tibet alguna respuesta 
Quiero fugarme de mi para no ser de aquí 
Ni de ninguna parte 
Perderme en la antropología 
Dedicar mi vida a la filantropía 
Con tal de olvidarte 
Con tal de burlarte

Y quiero correr por ahí mientras trepo un cometa 
Y levantarle la falda a la gorda del barrio 
Quiero pararme en Iraq y mandarle un saludo 
A la mamá del idiota más grande del mundo 
Quiero olvidarme de ti 
Quiero saber que es por mí

Quiero regalarle una flor al amor de mi herida
