Me Gusta La Palabra Libertad
José Luis Perales
I Like the Word Freedom
I'd rather be a wanderer than a path
Be free than be a slave
Be a kiss than a dagger
I prefer a field of wet grass
To a battlefield
That smells of loneliness
I prefer the sunlight
To the darkness of a gaze
I prefer a white laugh
To the pain
I'd rather be a dreamer
Than a dream killer
I prefer to fly than to be a hunter
I prefer a white flight of doves
Shadow and light
Earth and sea
I like the word Freedom
I'd rather be fearful than feared
Be rain than be drought
Be countryside than city
I'd rather be a clear moonlit night
Than the dark night
That kills anxiety
