Libre Sentimiento

“Libre Sentimiento” by Alux Nahual is a heartfelt ode to a love that thrives on freedom and authenticity. The song begins by contrasting the typical portrayal of love in songs on the radio, which often depict it as a caged bird, singing because it has no other choice. This metaphor sets the stage for the singer's declaration that their love is different; it is not born out of necessity but out of genuine affection. The lyrics, “te amo porque te necesito, pero yo te necesito porque te amo,” beautifully encapsulate this sentiment, emphasizing that the need for the beloved stems from love, not the other way around.

The song further explores the idea of freedom within love. The wind, a symbol of nature and freedom, advises the singer not to clip the beloved's wings, as doing so would kill the very essence of their feelings. This advice underscores the importance of allowing the beloved to remain free and true to themselves. The singer promises to embrace the beloved's name if they choose to stay, highlighting a love that respects individuality and personal growth. The repeated phrase, “Porque estoy enamorado de ti, de tu forma de ser, de tu libre sentimiento,” reinforces this theme, celebrating the beloved's unique personality and free spirit.

In the final verses, the singer holds a song in their hands, a metaphor for their feelings, and hesitates to play it, fearing it might be the only way to express their love. This hesitation reflects the depth and sincerity of their emotions. The call for the beloved to remain “Libre! con toda tu imaginación, con tu orgullo y tus sueños” is a powerful affirmation of love that cherishes freedom, creativity, and dreams. Alux Nahual's “Libre Sentimiento” is a beautiful reminder that true love flourishes when it allows both partners to be their authentic selves, free and unencumbered.
