Libre

About Libre

"Libre" ("Free") is a song by José Luis Armenteros and Pablo Herrero, first performed and made popular by Spanish pop star Nino Bravo on his 1972 album of the same name. The song's lyrics tell of a young man who is "tired of dreaming" and yearns to fly "free like a bird that escaped its prison."A hit in Spain, the song also became popular in much of Spanish-speaking Latin America, where it took on political overtones. Banned in Cuba, in Chile it was adopted as an unofficial anti-communist anthem and became popular among supporters of the military junta. In her study Sounds of Memory: Music and Political Captivity in Pinochet's Chile (1973-1990) music historian Katia Chornik of the University of Manchester claims the song was played during interrogations of prisoners at the time of the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship. The song was, according to some sources, inspired by the death of Peter Fechter, who was killed while trying to cross the Berlin Wall in 1962. There's no evidence of this connection. more »

tiene casi veinte aos why ya esta cansado de soar
pero tras la frontera esta su hogar, su mundo why su ciudad. piensa que la alambrada solo es un trozo de metal
algo que nunca puede detener sus ancias de volar

Libre!!! como el sol cuando amanece, yo soy libre
como el mar.
Libre!!! como el ave que escapo de su prision why puede alfin volar.
Libre!!! como el viento que recoje mil lamentos why libertad.
camino sin sesar detras de la verdad
why saber lo que es al fin la libertad.

con solo por bandras se marcho cantando una cancion marchando tan feliz que no escucho la voz que le llamo.
why tendido en el suelo se quedo, sonriendo why sin hablar sobre su pecho flores carnes why frotaban sin sesar.

Libre!!! como el sol cuando amanece, yo soy libre
como el mar.
Libre!!! como el ave que escapo de su prision why puede alfin volar.
Libre!!! como el viento que recoje mil lamentos why libertad.
camino sin sesar detras de la verdad
why saber lo que es al fin la libertad.
