Liberté(original) |
| Liberté, liberté |
| Qu’as-tu fait, liberté |
| Pour ceux-là qui voulaient te défendre |
| Les voilà, tes amis |
| Ils étaient trop petits |
| Et demain, le bourreau va les pendre |
| Ils aimaient bien leurs enfants |
| Ils aimaient bien leurs parents |
| Et pas qu’un peu, le vin rouge et l’amour |
| Mais quelque chose manquait |
| Qu’ils ne pouvaient expliquer |
| Et c'était toi, liberté des beaux jours |
| Avec une rose au chapeau |
| Bien plus jolie qu’un drapeau |
| Droit devant eux, un jour, s’en sont allés |
| Mais ils n’ont pas fait quatre pas |
| Que les sergents étaient là |
| Qui les tenaient au bout des pistolets |
| N’as-tu pas deux visages |
| Liberté |
| L’un joueux, l’autre grave |
| Liberté |
| Liberté, liberté |
| Qu’as-tu fait, liberté |
| Pour ceux-là qui t’ont crue, sur parole |
| Ils ne t’ont jamais vue |
| Ils ne te verrons plus |
| Liberté, fameux rêve des hommes |
| Ils ne vivaient que par toi |
| Ils ne parlaient que de toi |
| Et c’est pour toi qu’ils prieront dans leur ciel |
| Rien n’a changé dans leur coeur |
| Ils n’ont plus froid, n’ont plus peur |
| C’est toujours toi, liberté, leur soleil |
| Quand on les a condamnés |
| Ils ont salué sans pleurer |
| Et l’un à l’autre, ils se sont embrassés |
| Ils ont prié «vive le roi |
| Vive la reine et la loi |
| Mais surtout, vive, vive la liberté» |
| Liberté, liberté, liberté… |
| (translation) |
| freedom, freedom |
| What have you done, freedom |
| For those who wanted to defend you |
| Here they are, your friends |
| They were too small |
| And tomorrow the executioner will hang them |
| They loved their children |
| They loved their parents |
| And not just a little, red wine and love |
| But something was missing |
| That they couldn't explain |
| And it was you, fair weather freedom |
| With a rose in the hat |
| Much prettier than a flag |
| Straight ahead of them one day went away |
| But they didn't take four steps |
| That the sergeants were there |
| Who held them at gunpoint |
| Don't you have two faces |
| Freedom |
| One playful, the other serious |
| Freedom |
| freedom, freedom |
| What have you done, freedom |
| For those who believed you, at your word |
| They never saw you |
| They won't see you again |
| Freedom, famous dream of men |
| They only lived by you |
| They were only talking about you |
| And it is for you that they will pray in their sky |
| Nothing has changed in their heart |
| They are no longer cold, no longer afraid |
| It's always you, freedom, their sun |
| When they were condemned |
| They greeted without crying |
| And to each other they kissed |
| They prayed "long live the king |
| Long live the queen and the law |
| But above all, long live freedom" |
| Freedom, freedom, freedom... |
