La Libertad – Bilingual Lyrics Spanish/English
Lyrics & Translation
The four walls
Of our home
Weren't enough
To withstand
We had something more inside
Curiosity was itching
The four walls
Have already fallen
Ay-ay-ay-ay
I remember the moment
We went to look for
A world beyond
Ay-ay-ay-ay
Running with the wind
Towards freedom
And what do I care?
If it was crazy, crazy, we weren't going to stop
If it was crazy, crazy, we were going to fly
Ay-ay-ay-ay
I remember the moment
We went to look for
A world beyond
Freedom
Freedom
The sky, the sky
Open it now
Now that we know
How to go fly
I never forgot what I was
It will always be a part of me
The sky, the sky
Open it now
Ay-ay-ay-ay
I remember the moment
We went to look for
A world beyond
Ay-ay-ay-ay
Running with the wind
Towards freedom
And what do I care?
If it was crazy, crazy, we weren't going to stop
If it was crazy, crazy, we were going to fly
Ay-ay-ay-ay
I remember the moment
We went to look for
A world beyond
Freedom
Freedom (hey!)
Oh-eh-oh
We will dance with fear, fear, oh (hey)
Oh-eh-oh
The generation of wind, of wind, oh
This has just begun
Ay-ay-ay-ay
I remember the moment
We went to look for
A world beyond
Ay-ay-ay-ay
Running with the wind
Towards freedom
And what do I care?
If it was crazy, crazy, we weren't going to stop (no)
If it was crazy, crazy, we were going to fly
Ay-ay-ay-ay
I remember the moment
We went to look for
A world beyond
Freedom
