Abriendo vela

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.

I know that's not excact, but I think that's what he wants to say. Open to suggestions! - annierats, Nov 20, 2011
I like it :) - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 20, 2011
although you do have zarpar for set sail, yours is much more poetic :) - Kiwi-Girl, Nov 20, 2011
Thank you kiwi. It's a song after all, it's not an exam question. - annierats, Nov 20, 2011
