Libre Lyrics in English Nino Bravo

“Libre” paints the bittersweet story of a dream-chasing 19-year-old who longs to break through a literal border and the invisible walls that limit the human spirit. Through images of the sun at dawn, the open sea, a bird fleeing its cage, and the wind that carries sorrows away, Nino Bravo celebrates the unstoppable desire to breathe freely and decide one’s own destiny. Every chorus bursts with the jubilant declaration “Yo soy libre”—a reminder that true liberty lives first in the heart.

Yet the song is no fairy tale. As the young man runs toward his future “with his love as a flag”, a sudden, unseen gunshot ends his journey. Crimson flowers bloom on his chest, symbolizing both loss and the enduring beauty of his dream. By blending soaring optimism with tragic realism, “Libre” invites listeners to honor those who risk everything for freedom and to nurture that same courageous spirit within themselves.
