Livre

I just wanted one day
To have some time just for me
Nothing to do, just look at the sky from my garden
Without classes or lunch, or tasks to do
Without having to hear when I can read, sing, eat
I would just live

I just wanted one day
Not to have so much to do
Without working like a slave until nightfall
Without ironed shirts and blouses to iron
No wedding dress to decorate
Nothing to pay

How I wanted to be
How I wanted to be
Free

Free like this to dream
Free from so much resentment
Free like this
To sing
Marry just for love

They say I'm lucky to have so much just for me
Why then am I not happy like this
Even though I have very little, I don't intend to give up
The world will want to hear my story
Can I follow you?

I think I will never be
I will always be
Free

I try to dream, I see myself flying, so free to live
I can leave, but how to escape, staying is my duty

I will be real forever
What I owe I will pay
The heart must often accept

But I don't lose hope
This is not my end
When I dream I will create a world just for me
Yes, I will be free
