Libre
Efecto Mandarina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sin creencia de perder mi puesto
prisiones ni de amor las quiero
no me amen que no halaga
Cuando canto lo que no miento
ignoro lo que paso
es que olvide lo que siento
Cuando canto lo que sucedió
Quiero ser libre y sincera
sin creencia de perder mi puesto
prisiones ni de amor las quiero
no me amen que no halaga
Cuando canto lo que sucedió
cuando canto lo que murió
Creo en el fuego
Creo en el fuego
Creo en el fuego
Creo en el fuego...

The singer claims to ignore what has happened in the past and forget about their emotions, feeling like they are not their true self in the process. However, when they sing about what has taken place and what has died, their belief in the power of fire is evident, as it represents the ability to burn away what is no longer needed and to rise from the ashes.
The lyrics of "Libre" convey a sense of individualism and the struggle to find one's true identity. The singer rejects the constraints of society and relationships, seeking instead to be true to themselves.
