Freedom [English translation]

Hey, freedom

Hey, freedom

Hey, freedom

Hey, freedom

Hey, freedom

Hey, freedom

I'm under nobody's orders

Apart from those from the Almighty

It's why few people resonate with me

And why few things give me shivers

I didn't warm up the school bench

But rather my hands under my jacket

It isn't acne that bothers me

But sleeping outside gives me zits

It's been a while since I had matching trainers

And the guy has too much honour, feigning happiness

I'm not shouting: "Mayday"

And good people came to help me

Often

Yes, often

yes, often

Yes, often

Yes

Freedom, freedom

I'm free, I'm free

Freedom, freedom

I'm free

How to become a free boy?

How to become a free boy?

How to become a free boy?

I wasn't born in the West

I got here by accident

Mama wanted her son to have a future

Forced to leave our homeland

Papa, he was left powerless

Difficult to hold on to his son

Offering him the African Dream

But all my dreams ended here

And I worked doing odd jobs

Those which saw me behind a desk

I have my head under water, turning me into a workhorse

Saved by Islam, but drowned after all

Poor you

But I'm here

But I'm here

But I'm here

But...

Freedom, freedom

I'm free, I'm free

Freedom, freedom

I'm free

How to become a free boy?

How to become a free boy?

How to become a free boy?

I grew up with the terror of eviction

I had to adapt under pressure

It took my dad leaving the house

And my big brother giong to prison

My mother said: "Don't take him as an example

You're not a bad boy

And you're my pride

Gandhi, make us dream"

So it meant leaving the workbooks

I focused, I couldn't do it

Giving the middle finger to the system

As long as my sounds rescue you from poverty

I hope

So I'm trying

So I'm trying

So I'm trying

So...

Freedom, freedom

I'm free, I'm free

Freedom, freedom

I'm free

How to become a free boy?

How to become a free boy?

How to become a free boy?

How to become a free boy?

How to become a free boy?

Hey, freedom

Hey, freedom

Hey, freedom

Hey, freedom

Hey, freedom

Hey, freedom

Hey, freedom

Hey, freedom
