Christian Chavez And Anahi Rock It With "LIBERTAD" - A Spanish-Language Gay Anthem!

Love this!



I found out about out gay singer Christian Chavez in this fun article, 21 Great Gay Moments in Music at Billboard.com

The lyrics translate as (thanks to Baby_Girl_!):

Libertad / Freedom

El silencio se va, / The silence goes away,
Junto a mi ya no esta, / It's no longer next to me,
El dolor se marcho, / The pain has left too,
Y me alma es libre del temor. / And my soul is free from fear.

Comprendí que si estoy aquí, / I understood that if I'm here
Es porque yo así lo decidí, / it's because that's the way I decided,
Conocer y reconocer, / Knowing and admitting,
Que nada es perfecto, / that no one is perfect,
Y el defecto es bello también. / And the defect has also a beautiful side.

Libertad, libertad, / Freedom, freedom,
No voy abandonar mis sueños. / I will not give up on my dreams.
Libertad, libertad, / Freedom, freedom,
Es tiempo de vivir sin miedo, / It's time to live without fear,

Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom
Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom
Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom
Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom

Deja atrás el disfraz, / Leave behind the disguise,
Quema ya el antifaz. / It's time to burn the mask.
Tu destino es vivir, / Your destiny is to live,
Y sentir dejando de fingir. / and to feel without pretending.

Puedo amar, no hay oscuridad / I can love, there is no darkness
Hay nuevos horizontes que buscar / There are new horizons to search for
Hoy mi fe me hace creer, / Today my faith makes me believe
Que tengo mil razones para tocar el cielo y gritar. / That I have a thousand reasons to touch the sky and to scream.

Libertad, libertad, / Freedom, freedom,
No voy abandonar mis sueños. / I will not give up on my dreams.
Libertad, libertad, / Freedom, freedom,
Es tiempo de vivir sin miedo, / It's time to live without fear,

Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom
Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom
Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom
Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom

Libertad / Freedom
Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom
Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom
Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom

Libertad, yo vivo en libertad / Freedom, I live free
No tengo que ocultar mi personalidad / I don't have to hide my personality,
Libertad, yo vivo en libertad / Freedom, I live free
No me voy a frenar / I will not stop
Yo busco libertad / I'm searching for freedom

(Vive y suena en libertad, / (Live and dream freely,
Tu decides a quien amar, / You decide whom to love,
Hoy tu voz no van a callar, / Today your voice will not be quiet,
Grita fuerte, quiero escuchar). / Shout it out loudly, I want to hear).

Libertad (libertad), / Freedom (freedom),
Libertad (libertad), / Freedom (freedom),
No voy abandonar mis sueños, / I will not give up on my dreams,
Libertad (libertad), / Freedom (freedom),
Libertad (libertad), / Freedom (freedom),
Es tiempo de vivir sin miedo. / it's time to live without fear.

Yo quiero libertad / I want freedom
Libertad / Freedom
Yo quiero libertad / I want freedom
Libertad / Freedom
Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom
Yo solo quiero libertad / I only want freedom

Libertad / Freedom
Solo quiero libertad (libertad) / I only want freedom (freedom)
Libertad, libertad, libertad / Freedom, freedom, freedom

In any language, singing about the freedom to be yourself as a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, queer person is awesome.

Enjoy, and
Happy Pride!

Namaste,
