Libre

My big dream has always been a whole day for me
Nothing to do or where to be for once
No lessons or meals or a list to fulfill
No one saying study, eat, go in, go out
A day for me

My big dream has always been a whole day for me
Not waking up with work from here to there
No colorful fabrics, no wrinkles to smooth
Meters of endless fabric to sew and embroider
And debts to pay

I wish to be free! Yes
New things to try
Free from so much obligation
And to fly
And to sing
And to choose who I will marry
You can see I'm lucky, I have a lot, it's true
But everything implies responsibility

Although I know I have little, my will is strong, from all over they will want to come hear me sing

Free, I believe, I will never be
Soon I will be free
Yes; I can dream that I will fly far away
I can leave but I must continue, I will stay here

I will remain in royalty
I will pay my debts
Duty calls and this can also hurt
I don't lose hope
I never stop believing
There is much more in life than sewing and weaving, I know, I will be free
