Yesterday he left
He took his things and set sail
A shirt, jeans, and a song
Where will he go, where will he go?
He said goodbye
And decided to duel with the sea
And travel the world in his sailboat
And sail, lai-la-la, sail
And he left
And he called his boat Freedom
And in the sky he discovered seagulls
And painted trails in the sea
And he left
And he called his boat Freedom
And in the sky he discovered seagulls
And painted trails in the sea
His heart
Sought a different way of living
But the waves shouted at him, "Go away
With the others, lai-la-la
With the others"
And he fell asleep
And the night shouted at him, "Where are you going?"
And in his dreams he drew seagulls
And thought, "Today I must return"
And he returned
And a voice asked him, "How are you?"
And upon looking at her, he discovered eyes
Lai-la-la, blue like the sea
And he left
And he called his boat Freedom
And in the sky he discovered seagulls
And painted trails in the sea

velero — sailboat

Velero translates to "sailboat". It's a charming and evocative word that immediately brings to mind images of adventure and freedom on the open sea.

In this song, the protagonist names his boat "Libertad" (Freedom), making the velero a central symbol of his quest for a different way of life. It's a beautiful and memorable word that perfectly captures the spirit of the song's narrative.

Get ready to set sail on an adventure with Carlos Rivera and José Luis Perales in "Un Velero Llamado Libertad"! This song tells the story of someone who decides to leave everything behind. They pack light: "Una camisa, un pantalón vaquero y una canción" [A shirt, some denim pants, and a song], and head out to sea.

Our traveler names their boat "Libertad" [Freedom] and dreams of exploring the world. But the sea isn't always welcoming; the waves seem to tell them to "Vete con los demás" [Go with the others]. Even the night asks, "¿Dónde vas?" [Where are you going?]. After dreaming of seagulls, they decide to return. Back on land, they find someone with "ojos azules como el mar" [eyes as blue as the sea], and it seems their journey for freedom might have just begun again.
