Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴ayer se fue
tomo sus cosas y se puso a navegar
una camisa un pantalon vaquero y una cancion donde ira, donde ira
se despidio
y decidio batirse en duelo con el mar
y recorer el mundo en su velero
y navegar laylala navegar
y se marcho y a su barco le llamo libertad y en le cielo descubrio gavioootas
y pinto estelas en el mar

y se marcho
y a su barco le llamo libertad
y en le cielo descubrio gavioootas
y pinto estelas en el mar

su corazon busco una forma diferente de vivir pero las olas le gritar vete
con los demas laylala con los demas

y se durmio y la noche le grito donde vas
y en sus sueños dibujo gaviootas
y penso hoy devo regresar
y regreso y una vos le pregunto como estas
y al mirarla descubrio unos ojoos
laylala azules como el mar

y regreso y una vos le pregunto como estas
y al mirarla descubrio unos ojoos
laylala azules como el mar
y se marcho y a su barco le llamo libertad

y en el cielo descubriogaviootas
y pinto estelas en el mar

Overall Meaning

The song 'Un velero llamado libertad' by José Luis Perales is a beautiful homage to freedom and taking risks. The singer tells the story of a person who decides to leave everything behind and embark on a journey to discover himself and the world. The singer takes only a few possessions, a shirt, jeans, and a song, and sets sail on his boat called 'freedom.' The decision to leave and confront the waves is a challenge, but it is also a way of finding a new life that is different from the one they were living before.

The traveler explores the world on his boat and discovers the beauty of nature in various forms. He sees seagulls flying in the sky and paints trails in the sea, which is a testament to the freedom he has found. His heart longed for a different way of living, but the waves he meets on this journey tell him to go back to his old life. The singer falls asleep on his boat, and his dreams are filled with seagulls.

Eventually, he returns to his old life, but he has changed. His eyes are now opened to the beauty of the world, and he has found freedom. The blue eyes he sees on his return are a symbol of hope, and he sets sail yet again on his boat of freedom. The song ends with a reminder of the beauty he saw during his journey and the trails he left in the sea.
