Ahora estoy en libertad

Celeste Carballo's song "Ahora estoy en libertad" is a powerful anthem of personal liberation and self-empowerment. The lyrics convey a sense of newfound freedom and autonomy, as the protagonist reflects on their ability to feel and love without constraints. The opening lines, "Creo que estoy en libertad / Para sentir y para amar," set the tone for the song, emphasizing the importance of emotional and romantic freedom. This sense of liberation is not something that was handed to the protagonist; rather, it was achieved through their own efforts, as highlighted in the line, "No me lo dieron yo lo consegui."

The song also touches on the challenges that come with this newfound freedom. The protagonist acknowledges feeling a bit of coldness, both literally and metaphorically, but remains optimistic that time will bring warmth and comfort. This sentiment is captured in the lines, "Y aunque ahora sienta un poco de frio, / Creo que el tiempo me traera el abrigo." Despite these challenges, the protagonist's declaration of freedom is unwavering, as they repeatedly affirm, "Ahora estoy en libertad."

Carballo also addresses societal judgment and the pressure to conform. The lyrics, "Todos lo que dicen que mi vida es dudosa / Por que no hago como todos las cosas," criticize those who waste time gossiping and judging others for not following societal norms. The protagonist dismisses these judgments, reinforcing their commitment to living authentically and freely. This defiance against societal expectations is a central theme of the song, making it a resonant and empowering message for listeners who may also feel constrained by external pressures.
