Ah, I could not love you, had I not been free
i could dance with you nowhere
yes, I am as free as I would fall in love
as much as to think of you, day and night
Ah even though for my freedom I would hit the road
i could not become a gypsy without you and caravan
who is going to bring my dream on the spring twig
if I would not pay a price for my identity
Should I go in full sail in the sea of happiness
ah I could not be free with you not in the least
if there is no reason to talk about it
how come my fetus voice would develop in mother tongue
As I take refuge in a building’s cell hopelessly
no one would recognize my liberty
i would be without nature and humans, I would become lonely
my freedom is of an ever expanding universe
Ah I could not ask for freedom had I not been free
i could not talk about it for not having anyone die
i would be telling the truth of course I miss a lot
even a single day passed without a war in the world
By saying, let every morning be a new rise
i have to articulate who are hard-pressed
by giving way to our tears with love and creativeness
for them to stream and join the main source
