Lyrics to ¡Soy Libre!:

Unos ojos estoy viendo,
Por esos ojos me muero.
Soy libre ¡Soy bueno!
Y puedo querer.

Me han dicho que tiene dueño,
Y así, con dueño, los quiero.
Soy libre! Soy bueno!
Y puedo querer.

Quisiera cruzar el río
Sin me sienta la arena.
Soy libre ¡Soy bueno!
Y puedo querer.

Al Diablo ponerle grillos,
Y al amor unas cadenas.
Soy libre ¡Soy bueno!
Y puedo querer.

English:

Some eyes I am seeing,
For those eyes I die.
I am free I am good!
And I am able to love.

I have been told that they have an owner,
And so, with the owner, I love them.
I am free I am good!
And I am able to love.

I would like to cross the river
Without feeling the sand.
I am free I am good!
And I am able to love.

Put handcuffs on the devil,
And a chain to love.
I am free I am good!
And I am able to love.
