Libre (Bambuco)

Santa Fe of muleteers marking mountains
The sword and the clergy subduing souls
Noble knights, lords of Spain
Indians without gear burying treasures
Inevitable war, golden conquest
Mestizos, mulattos, scents and ponchos
Towns subjected to strange laws
Forbidden verses, silenced screams

Free, I want to be free
Like the free condor, above white clouds
Free, like the free water, as it runs through the rivers of the homeland
Free, I want to be free
Like the free condor, above white clouds
Free, like the free water, as it runs through the rivers of the homeland

Sun of the lancers, moon of my ancestors
Wind of warriors, this liberating
Two centuries have passed and now you adorn yourself with your silleteros, flowers of hope
No one is a stranger, no matter the race
It's everyone's land, this Paisa land
Love and respect live among its houses
Colombia, I love you, take me under your wings
Free, I want to be free
Like the free condor, above white clouds
Free, like the free water, as it runs through the rivers of the homeland
Free, I want to be free
Like the free condor, above white clouds
Free, like the free water, as it runs through the rivers of the homeland
Free, today I feel free, like the free condor, above white clouds
Free, like the free water, as it runs through the rivers of the homeland, free
