Victor Jara — Canto Libre song lyrics and translation
The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Canto Libre" by Victor Jara.
Lyrics
El verso es una paloma
que busca donde anidar.
Estalla y abre sus alas
para volar y volar.
Mi canto es un canto libre
que se quiere regalar
mi canto es un canto libre.
A quién le estreche su mano
a quién quiera disparar
mi canto es un canto libre.
Mi canto es una cadena
sin comienzo ni final
y en cada eslabón se encuentra
el canto de los demás.
Sigamos cantando juntos
a toda la humanidad.
Sigamos cantando juntos
que el canto es una paloma
que vuela para encontrar.
Estalla y abre sus alas
para volar y volar.
Mi canto es un canto libre.
Lyrics translation
The verse is a dove
looking for a place to nest.
It explodes and spreads its wings
to fly and fly.
My song is a free song
that you want to give away
my song is a free song.
To whom he shakes his hand
who you want to shoot
my song is a free song.
My singing is a string
no beginning or end
and in every link is
the singing of others.
Let's keep singing together
to all mankind.
Let's keep singing together
that singing is a dove
that flies to find.
It explodes and spreads its wings
to fly and fly.
My song is a free song.
