Oh Freedom

To love you

so intensely

Such a strange love

demands no

understanding

 

To think of you

and speak of you

a state of mind

fundamental

for the living

Glory to those

who died seeking you

a State of my own mind,

our own mind

 

Queen of ideals

oh precious Freedom,

Love for you

so pure

it heals the soul

If I can dream

and navigate

the mighty river of Will

in this breezy peace,

I live

 

Come and sing to me  

of the countless sacrifices

for your sake supreme

make us see

how it was

you came to be

so beautiful,

above

the Sun and the Moon

to the simple man

who understands nothing

yet accepts their kiss invisible

on his rugged cheek,

and with a deep breath

draws inside

a taste of the light

 

Oh Freedom!

...

Que de crimes on comet en ton nom
