Fiddlers' oath

We are like the wind
we can't be locked up
wild and free...
Ooh-ooh ...
No jail can hold us
so pour another yet again,
we are born to be fiddlers.
 
The noose that can bind us
has not yet been braided,
the servant who murders us,
has not fought yet.
The woman who holds us
is not born yet,
so have all minstrels sworn.
 
We are like the wind
we can't be locked up
wild and free
that's how we want to be.
No jail can hold us
so pour another yet again,
we are born to be fiddlers.
 
The dagger that assassinates us
is not forged yet,
the chain on the neck
is not riveted yet.
The wine we avoid
is not fermented yet,
so have all minstrels sworn.
 
We are like the wind
we can't be locked up
wild and free
that's how we want to be.
No jail can hold us
so pour another yet again,
we are born to be fiddlers.
 
Who wanders with us, shares our life,
who wanders with us will be given everything.
Who wanders with us stands up for us,
who wanders with us will never be alone again.
A bourgeois has no business with us,
so have all minstrels sworn.
 
We are like the wind
we can't be locked up
wild and free
that's how we want to be.
No jail can hold us
so pour another yet again,
wild and free...
Ooh-ooh...
No woman can ban us,
the world is too small,
wild and free...
Ooh-ooh...
Just like the wind
you don't lock us up
we are born
to be fiddlers.
We are like the wind,
don't lock us up,
wild and free...
Oohooh...
