Libertango

(original)
Mi libertad me ama y todo el ser le entrego
Mi libertad destranca la cárcel de mis huesos
Mi libertad se ofende si soy feliz con miedo
Mi libertad desnuda me hace el amor perfecto
Mi libertad me insiste con lo que no me atrevo
Mi libertad me quiere con lo que llevo puesto
Mi libertad me absuelve si alguna vez la pierdo
Por cosas de la vida que a comprender no acierto
Mi libertad no cuenta los años que yo tengo
Pastora inclaudicable de mis eternos sueños
Mi libertad me deja y soy un pobre espectro
Mi libertad me llama y en trajes de alas vuelvo
Mi libertad comprende que yo me sienta preso
De los errores míos sin arrepentimiento
Mi libertad quisieran el astro sin asueto
Y el átomo cautivo, ser libre ¡qué misterio!
Ser libre.
Ya en su vientre mi madre me decía
«ser libre no se compra ni es dádiva o favor»
Yo vivo del hermoso secreto de esta orgía:
Si polvo fui y al polvo iré, soy polvo de alegría
Y en leche de alma preño mi libertad en flor
De niño la adoré, deseándola crecí
Mi libertad, mujer de tiempo y luz
La quiero hasta el dolor y hasta la soledad
Mi libertad me sueña con mis amados muertos
Mi libertad adora a los que en vida quiero
Mi libertad me dice, de cuando en vez, por dentro
Que somos tan felices como deseamos serlo
Mi libertad conoce al que mató y al cuervo
Que ahoga y atormenta la libertad del bueno
Mi libertad se infarta de hipócritas y necios
Mi libertad trasnocha con santos y bohemios
Mi libertad es tango de par en par abierto
Y es blues y es cueca y choro, danzón y romancero
Mi libertad es tango, juglar de pueblo en pueblo
Y es murga y sinfonía y es coro en blanco y negro
Mi libertad es tango que baila en diez mil puertos
Y es rock, malambo y salmo y es ópera y flamenco
Mi libertango es libre, poeta y callejero
Tan viejo como el mundo, tan simple como un credo
De niño la adoré, deseándola crecí
Mi libertad, mujer de tiempo y luz
La quiero hasta el dolor y hasta la soledad
(translation)
My freedom loves me and I give my whole being to it
My freedom unlocks the prison of my bones
My freedom is offended if I am happy with fear
My naked freedom makes me perfect love
My freedom insists on what I don't dare
My freedom wants me with what I'm wearing
My freedom absolves me if I ever lose it
For things in life that I don't succeed in understanding
My freedom does not count the years that I have
Unwavering shepherdess of my eternal dreams
My freedom leaves me and I'm a poor wraith
My freedom calls me and I return in wingsuits
My freedom understands that I feel imprisoned
Of my mistakes without regret
My freedom would like the star without a holiday
And the captive atom, to be free, what a mystery!
Be free.
Already in her womb my mother told me
«being free is not bought nor is it a gift or favor»
I live from the beautiful secret of this orgy:
If I was dust and I will go to dust, I am dust of joy
And in the milk of my soul I conceive my freedom in flower
As a child I adored her, wishing for her I grew up
My freedom, woman of time and light
I love her to the point of pain and even loneliness
My freedom dreams of my dead loved ones
My freedom adores those I love in life
My freedom tells me, from time to time, inside
That we are as happy as we want to be
My freedom knows the one who killed and the raven
That suffocates and torments the freedom of the good
My freedom is infested with hypocrites and fools
My freedom stays up all night with saints and bohemians
My freedom is tango wide open
And it's blues and it's cueca and choro, danzón and romancero
My freedom is tango, minstrel from town to town
And it's a murga and a symphony and it's a choir in black and white
My freedom is tango that dances in ten thousand ports
And it's rock, malambo and psalm and it's opera and flamenco
My libertango is free, a poet and a street man
As old as the world, as simple as a creed
As a child I adored her, wishing for her I grew up
My freedom, woman of time and light
I love her to the point of pain and even loneliness
