Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Yo Te Quiero Libre by Silvio Rodriguez from Spanish to English.
Yo te quiero libre, libre y con amor
I want you free, free and with love
Libre de la sombra, pero no del sol
Free from the shade, but not from the sun
Yo te quiero libre, como te viví
I want you free, how I lived you
Libre de otras penas, y libre de mi
Free from other sorrows, and free from me
La libertad tiene alma clara
Freedom has a clear soul
Y solo canta cuando va batiendo alas
And he only sings when he is flapping his wings
Vuela y canta, libertad
Fly and sing, freedom
La libertad nació sin dueño
Freedom was born without an owner
Y yo quien soy para robarle cada sueno
And who am I to steal every dream?
Yo te quiero libre y con buena fe
I love you free and with good faith
Para que conduzcas tu preciosa sed
For you to drive your precious thirst
Yo te quiero libre, libre de verdad
I want you free, truly free
Libre como el sueno de la libertad
Free as the dream of freedom
La libertad, nació sin dueño
Freedom was born without an owner
Y yo quien soy para robarle cada sueno
And who am I to steal every dream?
Yo te quiero libre como te viví
I want you free as I lived you
Libre de otras penas, y libre de mi
Free from other sorrows, and free from me
