La Libertad Lyrics in English by Alvaro Soler
Rumbo translates to "course" or "direction", often used in a nautical or navigational sense, like setting the course for a ship.
In this uplifting song, Alvaro Soler sings "Correr con el viento, rumbo a la libertad" (Running with the wind, on course to freedom). This word perfectly captures the song's spirit of adventure and purpose, suggesting a determined journey towards a specific destination. It's a more poetic and inspiring choice than the common word 'dirección'.
This song is a huge burst of energy about breaking free and chasing a bigger life. Alvaro Soler sings about a moment when staying put just wasn't an option anymore. The feeling of being stuck inside "Las cuatro paredes de nuestro hogar" (The four walls of our home) becomes too much, and curiosity takes over. He remembers the exact moment they decided to leave and "Nos fuimos a buscar / Un mundo más allá" (We went to look for / A world beyond).
What's great about this song is its totally carefree attitude. Soler doesn't care if the decision seemed crazy to others, singing "Y a mí, ¿qué más me da? / Si fue una locura" (And what do I care? / If it was madness). It's all about that feeling of running with the wind towards freedom. He even calls his group "La generación del viento" (The generation of the wind), suggesting this feeling is for everyone who dares to chase something new. It's an anthem for starting a new adventure, even if it's scary, because as he says, "Esto acaba de empezar" (This has just begun).
