LIBRE
José Ferrer
FREE
Let the poet be silent once and for all, let him not speak anymore
Not even pronounce the word freedom
Because what freedom has humanity obtained
If this world today is full of slaves
Let them review history and make corrections
Because slavery has not been abolished
There are chains and shackles holding onto humanity
And they only break when one goes to Calvary
Free, Christ made me free
He broke the chains of my slavery
Free, free by His death, free by His blood, free by His cross
Free, Christ made me free
He broke the chains of my slavery
Free, free by His death, free by His blood, free by His cross
How I admire your work, oh tenacious liberator
You wanted to give the people freedom with great value
If you could see it today, you would be horrified
Your people are prostrated under the yoke of sin
Let the writer suspend his work, let him not write anymore
Let him stop being inspired by what he calls freedom
Because what freedom have our people obtained
If they have not accepted the truth of the gospel
Free, Christ made me free
He broke the chains of my slavery
Free, free by His death, free by His blood, free by His cross
Free, Christ made me free
He broke the chains of my slavery
Free, free by His death, free by His blood, free by His cross
Free, because if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free, hallelujah
Free, free by His death, free by His blood, free by His cross
Free, I feel free
He broke the chains of my slavery
Free, free by His death, free by His blood, free by His cross
