Translation
Liberty
She put leaves on her branches
She put veils on her mate
Slipped on her prettiest stockings
Burned out her Sundays' habits
She watched the existence
All these piles of memories
in her heart like ashes
All these dreams half-faded
Well, she murmured
"Liberty, liberty, liberty
Ouuuh
Liberty, you really should exist"
Yes, we heard her murmur
"Liberty, liberty, liberty
Ouuuh
Liberty, you really should exist"
It was a strange kingdom
Between the wall and the gutter
Sheltered by newspaper kiosk
He has chosen his residence
He didn't know neither grape harvest
nor sweetness of the flow
The cruelty, the indifference
are leaning over his cradle
But we hear him murmur
"Liberty, liberty, liberty
Ouuuh
Liberty, you really should exist"
Yes, we heard her murmur
"Liberty, liberty, liberty
Ouuuh
Liberty, you really should exist"
We can adjust it to one's hips
Envelop it like a hammer
Carry it even on the skin
Or with the warmness on one's belly
Hidden in one's back
We can play a blank cheque
Raise it up like a flag
We can slide it in one's sleeve
Hide it under one's skirts
Or use it as one's creed
Flowers or mud to each one
Very first word to each one
Cellar and barn to each one
Road and pub to each one
Pottery soul to each one
Shadow on the painting to each one
Three dance moves to each one
And tomb to each one
But it leaves us to dream
"Liberty, liberty, liberty
Ouuuh
Liberty, you really should exist"
Yes, we heard her murmur
"Liberty, liberty, liberty
Ouuuh
Liberty, you really should exist"
