One can't forbid nor deny
The right to live the reason to dream
One can't forbid the believing nor the creating
Nor excluding the earth nor hiding the moon
One can't forbid a bit of love
Nor keeping the flower from blooming
Nor the soul from vibrating nor the pulse from beating
Nor life from walking can be forbidden
One can't forbid the choice of thinking
Nor prevent the storm in the sea
One can't forbid that in an inner flight
A swallow leaves looking for a better sky
One can't forbid the vital impulse
Nor the honey drop nor the salt grain
Nor the unique desires nor the endless desire
Nor laughing and crying can be forbidden
One can't forbid the iridescence
Of the dying evening in the sunset
One can't forbid the zeal for singing
Nor the duty of saying what shouldn't be silenced
Only the man unable to understand and to feel
Has achieved in the end to forbid his greatness
And refuses the taste and the simple truth
Of living love and in total freedom
If I had the power to decide
I'd dictate as a law, forbidden to forbid
