Libre
Y La Bamba Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night while I was dreaming
I thought I fell asleep
But what was a dream
What was a dream
Where my traveling eyes
I heard a screaming coming straight out
Of the evening
Where all the animals came
Together to have a talk
They spoke to higher places to protect
Of what the claim to stalk and all the
Fruits that they know so well if they
Come or not
When water meets the air
And the grass
And the grass
And the grass starts to rot
And all the colors were mysterious
All the colors were mysterious
Volaba como una aguila
Desnuda y Hermosa
Era la duena (dueña) de los bosques
Y se animaba para luchar
Por un amor mas grande de
De todo lo que es y mucho mas
Con una lengua familiar
Que lleva el sol y el mar
Y su rostro me recuerda (There was a presence that held)
De un cuerpo sin su piel (All the matter it was everything)
Y vive libre
Vive libre
Vive libre
Y vive bien
Y su rostro me recuerda (There was a presence that held)
De un cuerpo sin su piel (All the matter it was everything)
Por ejemplo yo
Por ejemplo asi me explico
Y el amor que tengo yo se
Relaja en mi boca
Siempre estare
Siempre estare aqui
Siempre estare aqui
Espiritu de la vida
Por ejemplo yo
Por ejemplo así me explico
Y el amor que tengo yo se
Relaja en mi boca
Siempre estaré
Siempre estaré aquí
Siempre estaré aquí
Espiritu de la vida
El nagual...
Por ejemplo yo
Por ejemplo asi me explico
Y el amor que tengo yo se
Relaja en mi boca
Siempre estaré (Tenemos)
Siempre estaré aquí (Tenemos que)
Siempre estare aqui
Espiritu de la vida
Por ejemplo yo (Tenemos)
Por ejemplo así me explico (Tenemos que)
Y el amor que tengo yo se
Relaja en mi boca
Siempre estaré (Tenemos)
Siempre estaré aquí (Tenemos que)




Siempre estaré aquí (Encontrar la luz y la calma)
Espíritu de la vida

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Y La Bamba's song "Libre" portrays the experience of a dream-like state where the singer witnesses a conversation between different species of animals. The animals speak to higher powers to protect what they claim to stalk, which could be a metaphor for their natural habitats or their prey. The singer describes the colors as mysterious, and the scene as surreal. Suddenly, a nude and beautiful woman, who is the owner of the forest, appears and is ready to fight for a greater love than everything that exists. She reminds the singer of a presence that holds everything together, even the matter that composes them. The woman lives free, and the singer idolizes her liberation.


The lyrics continue with the singer expressing their own understanding of the woman's message. The singer explains how their love is relaxed in their mouth, and they will always be here in the spirit of life. They refer to themselves as an example, and they have to find the light and calmness within themselves. The song ends with a chant, "siempre estaré aquí" (I will always be here), which signifies the singer's commitment to stay connected to their purpose and to the spirit of life.
