Libre
Radio Viejo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sueños que nunca nadie esperará
Que algún día se vuelvan realidad
Luces que encantan
Tras la sombra de algún poder total
Sólo quedan cenizas de identidad
Y de pronto me vine a despertar
Las sonrisas me hicieron reaccionar
Dame tu mano
Y vamos juntos a bailar
Que yo quiero celebrar
Que ya soy libre libre
La otra identidad ya no me sirve
Fue creada para complacer
Ahora soy libre
Quiero que también tú seas libre
Vamos a explorar donde nadie puede llegar
Nubes siniestras
Acechaban para tapar el sol
Que la libertad nos heredó
Hubo tormenta
Y en una cueva me fui a refugiar
Y en la cueva yo también me sentí libre
Libre, ya perdoné y me sentí libre
Ya no soy tu propiedad
Ahora soy libre, libre
Pero cuando quieras deja de huirte
Y ven conmigo a celebrar que somos libres
The song "Libre" by Radio Viejo is a commentary on the concept of freedom, and the various ways in which it can be perceived and experienced. The opening lines describe wild games and dreams that nobody would expect to come true, but which eventually do become reality. However, the light that once enthralled the singer is now only ashes of identity, indicating that the journey to freedom may also entail destruction of certain aspects of oneself. The chorus of the song, where the singer says "dame tu mano y vamos juntos a bailar, que yo quiero celebrar que ya soy libre libre", reflects the idea that freedom is not just a state of being, but also an experience to be celebrated and shared with others. The second verse speaks of freedom in the face of adversity, with the singer taking refuge in a cave during a storm and realizing that he feels free even in the midst of danger.
Overall, the song "Libre" addresses the complexities of the concept of freedom, and encourages the listener to embrace it in all its forms.
