Libertad
Cadena Perpetua Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Para el mas negro hay un puñal
Para el político brindemos, libertad
"Acá por suerte nada anda mal
Los pobres siempre van a esperar
Nadie se tiene que quejar
Reina el trabajo, reina la paz."
Libertad no es solo una palabra.
Para el que agita hay bombas de gas
Para el que trabaja un socio mas
La ley no da seguridad pero le gusta disparar.
"Acá por suerte nada anda mal
Como me quiere la ciudad
Cuanta alegría pude dar
Que ellos me devuelven al votar."
Libertad no es solo una palabra.
Libertad es mucho mas.
The lyrics to the song "Libertad" by Cadena Perpetua are a scathing critique of the political and social situation in Argentina, where the band originates from. In the song, they point out the hypocrisy and inequality present in society, where the wealthy and powerful are protected, while the poor and dissenters are repressed and silenced.
The lines "Para el artista hay un bozal, Para el mas negro hay un puñal" highlight the silencing and marginalization of artists and people of color. The "bozal" refers to censorship and the "puñal" to violence and discrimination. The next lines, "Para el político brindemos, libertad, 'Acá por suerte nada anda mal'", contrast the treatment of politicians who are often celebrated and protected while the rest of society suffers.
The lyrics go further to expose the use of violence as a means of control, with lines like "Para el que agita hay bombas de gas, Para el que trabaja un socio mas." They also criticize the law for not providing enough security and for allowing those in power to use weapons against their own people.
Overall, the song serves as a call for real freedom and equality, beyond just the empty use of the word "libertad."
