Sérgio Godinho - Liberdade (Engels vertaling)

Engels

Vertaling

Freedom

Peace, bread, housing, health, education...

We came carrying the weight of the past and the seed

Waiting for so many years makes everything urgent

and the thirst of a wait can only be stanched by a torrent

We lived so many years having to talk quietly

Only those who had nothing can desire everything

Only those who had life at a standstill can want a full life

There will only be real freedom

When there is

Peace, bread

Housing

Health, education

There will only be real freedom when there is

Freedom to change and decide

when what the people produce belongs to them
