Me gusta la palabra libertad
José Luis Perales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ser libre a ser esclavo,
ser beso a ser puñal.
Prefiero un campo de hierba mojada
a un campo de batalla
que huele a soledad.
Prefiero la luz del sol
prefiero una risa blanca
al dolor.
Prefiero ser soñador
a ser matador de sueños,
prefiero volar a ser cazador.
Prefiero un vuelo blanco de palomas,
sombra y luz,
tierra y mar,
me gusta la palabra Libertad.
Prefiero ser temeroso a ser temido,
ser lluvia a ser estío,
ser campo a ser ciudad.
Prefiero ser noche clara de luna
a ser la noche oscura
que mata la ansiedad.
Prefiero la luz del sol...
Prefiero ser caminante a ser camino...
Prefiero un campo de hierba mojada...
Prefiero la luz del sol...
Prefiero la luz del sol...
In "Me gusta la palabra libertad," José Luis Perales expresses his preference for freedom over captivity, love over hate, and nature over conflict. The lyrics suggest that Perales values a life of nonviolence, a life that prioritizes human connection and joy over material gains or selfish desires. He sees the world in a way that values the simple pleasures and prefers to travel his own path rather than to follow someone else's.
In the first verse, Perales compares the journey of life to the actual road taken. He prefers to be the traveler rather than the path itself because he values the experience of discovery and self-reflection. The second verse compares love to a kiss and hate to a knife. The third verse focuses on the simplicity of the natural world in contrast to the complexity and destructiveness of war. The chorus emphasizes Perales' strong preference for the light of the sun and the positive energy that it infuses into the world.
Overall, "Me gusta la palabra libertad" is a song about freedom and the various forms it can take. Perales sees freedom as an inherently positive force that allows people to experience love, joy, and connection without the burden of oppressive forces holding them back. This song can be interpreted as an expression of hope for a better world, one in which people are free to live their lives as they see fit without fear of retribution or harm.
