Free

Libre

He's almost twenty years oldTiene casi veinte años
And he's already tired of dreamingY ya está cansado de soñar
But beyond the borderPero tras la frontera
Is his home, his world, and his cityEstá su hogar, su mundo y su ciudad
He thinks the wire fence is justPiensa que la alambrada sólo es
A piece of metalUn trozo de metal
Something you can never stopAlgo que nunca puedes detener
His desire to flySus ansias de volar
FreeLibre
Like the sun when it risesComo el sol cuando amanece
I am freeYo soy libre
Like the sea freeComo el marlibre
Like the bird that escapedComo el ave que escapó
From its prisonDe su prisión
And can finally flyY puede al fin volar
FreeLibre
Like the wind that picks upComo el viento que recoge
My lament and my sorrowMi lamento y mi pesar
I walk incessantlyCamino sin cesar
Behind the truthDetrás de la verdad
And I will know what freedom is at lastY sabré lo que es al fin la libertad
With his love for the flag, he leftCon su amor por la bandera se marchó
Singing a songCantando una canción
He marched so happily that he didn't hearMarchaba tan feliz que no escuchó
The voice that called himLa voz que le llamó
And lying on that ground, he stayedY tendido en ese suelo se quedó
Smiling and without speakingSonriendo y sin hablar
On his chest, crimson flowersSobre su pecho flores carmesí
Kept blooming incessantly.Brotaban sin cesar.
