Abriendo vela This is the title of a song by Marcos Vidal... I understand the words separately but I can't really understand what they mean together. Opening the sails? Sailing with the wind (drifting)? Under full sail? Cutting a path across the water (like 'abriendo paso', maybe implying against some resistance)?

Can anyone shed some light? Thanks smile

Therefore I set sail..

Por tanto seguiré abriendo vela,

aunque en la lejanía no te vea,

y multiplicaré en Ti mi fuerza,

si sé que en la otra orilla Tu me esperas.
