Pude haber sido ingeniero, filosofo o químico
I could have been an engineer, philosopher, or chemist
Pero hubiera incidido en mi estado anímico
But it would have affected my state of mind
Pude haber sido astronauta, contador o físico
I could have been an astronaut, accountant, or physicist
Pude haber sido banquero, arquitecto o doctor
I could have been a banker, architect, or doctor
Pude haber sido maestro, cura o burócrata
I could have been a teacher, priest, or bureaucrat
Pude haber sido mesero, albañil o aristócrata
I could have been a waiter, builder, or aristocrat
Pude haber sido de todo incluso sin quererlo
I could have been anything, even without wanting it
Pero si no amo lo que hago no veo por qué hacerlo
But if I don't love what I do, I don't see why I should do it
Por eso es que soy libre
That's why I am free
Libre y sin ponerme mascarás
Free and without wearing masks
Libre, libre y sin usar ningún disfraz
Free, free and without wearing any disguise
Libre, libre y sin ponerme mascarás
Free, free and without putting on masks
Libre, libre y sin usar ningún disfraz
Free, free and without wearing any disguise
Me compré una guitarra y empecé a hacer canciones
I bought myself a guitar and started making songs
Y hasta hoy es lo único que me da emociones
And until today it's the only thing that brings me emotions
Solo haciendo lo que amas pasaras por el mundo
Only by doing what you love will you pass through this world
Provocando que muchos sigan tu mismo rumbo
Causing many to follow your same path
Por eso es que soy libre
That's why I am free
Libre y sin ponerme mascarás

Libre, libre y sin usar ningún disfraz
Free, free and without wearing any disguise
Libre, libre y sin ponerme mascarás
