De una sola manera se pronuncia tu nombre
Victor Manuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En tus pliegues antiguos nada malo se esconde
Como todas las cosas que nos hacen mejores
Te secuestran algunos con siniestras razones
En la noche más negra una luz al final
Nos anuncia que afuera la costumbre es estar
De una sola manera se pronuncia tu nombre, libertad
Tu nombre sirve para odiar, encarcelar, torturar o matar
La rosa muere en el rosal, pero tu creces, multiplicas, floreces
No hace libre, ni te hace más honrado o más justo
Si no fuera de todos, no sería de ninguno
Los que siempre pretenden manejarte a su gusto
Que tú seas tan libre les parece un insulto
En el pájaro, el aire, se te puede encontrar
En el rastro que deja la estrella fugaz
De una sola manera se pronuncia tu nombre, libertad
Tu nombre sirve para odiar...
The lyrics to Víctor Manuel's song "De una sola manera se pronuncia tu nombre" ("Your name is pronounced in only one way") highlight the power and significance of the concept of freedom. The song suggests that freedom, like a person's name, is an intrinsic part of who we are, and is often taken for granted or even manipulated by those who seek to control us. The first verse of the song reflects on the idea that there is only one way to pronounce a person's name, just as there is only one true essence of freedom that should not be corrupted by those with sinister motives. The second verse reminds us that true freedom is not just about being allowed to do as we please, but rather about being part of a collective that recognizes and respects each individual's right to freedom. The song warns against those who seek to exploit and oppress others, and urges us to value and protect our freedom.
Overall, the song is a powerful statement about the importance of freedom, and the need to be vigilant against those who would seek to undermine it. It is a reminder that true liberty is not just a concept, but also a responsibility that requires constant vigilance and diligence to protect.
