Ma liberté [English translation]

1st Verse

My freedom,

For so long, I kept you,

Like a rare gem,

My freedom,

You are the one who helped me set sail.

To go anywhere, to travel till the end

of the roads to fortune,

To dreamily pick a compass rose from a moonbeam.

2nd Verse

My freedom,

Faced with your wishes

My soul was submissive,

My freedom, I gave you everything

even my last shirt.

And how I suffered in order to satisfy

your every need,

I moved to a different country, I lost my friends

In order to earn your trust.

3rd Verse

My freedom, you were able to disarm all my ways,

My freedom, you who made me love even loneliness.

You who made me smile when I saw a great adventure end,

You who protected me when I would hide

In order to care for my wounds.

4th Verse

My freedom, and yet I left you

one night in December,

I deserted the wayward roads

that we had travelled together

When without distrust, and with hands and feet tied

I let myself be taken,

And I betrayed you for a prison of love and its beautiful jail guard

And I betrayed you for a prison of love and its beautiful jail guard
