La Libertad
Camellos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Si ser libre es elegir lo que quieres comer.
Y tú a qué edad abriste los ojos?
Si no te mueves, no notas las cadenas.
O eso dicen por ahí.
No te quejes, si no arriesgas.
Si no arriesgas, no vas a ganar.
Mucho llorar y poco trabajar.
La historia esa del techo de cristal.
Si es que todos tenemos un precio ya.
Y tú? Tú por cuánto lo harías?
Ponte un precio, dame un cifra.
Que al final es lo que te quieran contar.
Si no arriesgas, no te quejes.
Si no arriesgas, no vas a ganar.
Si tienes hambre, elige comer.
Si tienes sueño, elige soñar.
El dinero sabe qué hacer.
Sólo confía en él.
Mucho llorar y poco trabajar.
La historia esa del techo de cristal.
Y ya ves.
Si coach es cucaracha en inglés.
Y el mercado lo ha vuelto a hacer.
Que al final es lo que te quieren contar.
Si no arriesgas, no te quejes.
Si no arriesgas, no vas a ganar.
Si tienes hambre, elige comer.
Si tienes sueño, elige soñar.
El dinero sabe qué hacer.
Sólo confía en él.
Y tú? Tú por cuánto lo harías?
Ponte un precio, dame un cifra.
Que al final es lo que te quieran contar.
Si no arriesgas, no te quejes.
Si no arriesgas, no vas a ganar.
Si tienes hambre, elige comer.
Si tienes sueño, elige soñar.
El dinero sabe qué hacer.
Sólo confía en él.
In "La Libertad" by Camellos, the lyrics reflect on the concept of freedom and its relationship to personal choices. The song begins by questioning if freedom truly makes us free and suggests that being free means being able to choose what we want to eat. It then poses the question of when we opened our eyes, implying that by not taking action, we become blind to the chains that bind us. This challenges the notion that freedom is simply the absence of physical restraints.
The next verse encourages listeners not to complain if they are not taking risks, as without taking risks, they will not achieve success. The lyrics then play on the idea of crying and working, highlighting the imbalance between complaining and actual effort. The line about the glass ceiling alludes to societal barriers and limitations imposed upon individuals.
The song continues by emphasizing the idea that everyone has a price, and asks the listener to put a value on themselves. It suggests that ultimately, the power lies in what others want to tell us. This could be interpreted as a critique of the influence of money and societal expectations on individuals' choices and actions.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of taking risks in order to achieve. It encourages listeners to choose their path and trust in money, implying that monetary success will lead to freedom and fulfillment.
Overall, "La Libertad" by Camellos explores the complexities of freedom, personal choices, and societal influences. It questions the nature of freedom, calls for taking risks, and critiques the power of money and societal norms in shaping one's life.
