Medicina Libre
[Intro]
[Verse]
Listen close—
Freedom is a right, not a crime.
La medicina de Jah,
Llegó para sanar (has come to heal).
[Verse 1 – English/Spanish mix]
From the darkness, we rise,
Searching for the light,
El dolor no se esconde,
Pero hay una salida (Pain can’t hide, but there’s a way out).
Visions open doors,
Breaking all the chains,
La medicina sagrada,
Borra el sufrimiento (Sacred medicine erases suffering).
[Pre-Chorus]
They call it a crime,
Criminalizan la verdad,
Punish those who want to heal,
Nos quieren encadenar.
[Chorus – Call & Response]
But the medicine of Jah,
Brings freedom to the soul,
Sanando las heridas,
Liberando el dolor (Healing the wounds, releasing the pain).
No more hiding from the pain,
No más castigos por sanar (No more punishment for healing),
We reclaim our right to heal,
La naturaleza nos da la paz (Nature gives us peace).
[Verse 2 – English/Spanish mix]
PTSD and sorrow,
We carry the stains,
Pero el amor de la tierra,
Nos limpia otra vez (But the love of the earth cleanses us again).
Let the visions guide you,
Let the spirit run free,
Prohibir la medicina,
Eso sí es un crimen (To ban the medicine, that’s the real crime).
[Bridge – Chant, high energy]
Crimes against humanity,
Forbidding what is free,
La medicina es amor,
Déjala fluir (The medicine is love, let it flow).
[Breakdown – Spoken, intimate]
This is our cure,
Esto es sanación,
Claim your freedom,
Nuestra liberación.
[Chorus – Reprise, all voices]
But the medicine of Jah,
Brings freedom to the soul,
Sanando las heridas,
Liberando el dolor.
No more hiding from the pain,
No más castigos por sanar,
We reclaim our right to heal,
La naturaleza nos da la paz.Let the medicine flow...
Que la medicina sane...
We are free.
