Ma Liberté
Georges Moustaki
My Freedom
My freedom
I kept you for a long time
Like a rare pearl
My freedom
It was you who helped me
To cast off the moorings
To go anywhere
To go all the way
On the paths of fortune
To pick, dreaming
A compass rose
On a moonbeam
My freedom
In front of your desires
My soul was submissive
My freedom
I had given you everything
My last shirt
And how much I suffered
To be able to satisfy
All your demands
I changed countries
I lost my friends
To gain your trust
My freedom
You managed to disarm
All my habits
My freedom
You who made me love
Even solitude
You who made me smile
When I saw the end
Of a beautiful adventure
You who protected me
When I was going to hide
To heal my wounds
My freedom
Yet I left you
One December night
I deserted
The secluded paths
That we followed together
When, without suspecting
Feet and hands tied
I let it happen
And I betrayed you for
A prison of love
And its beautiful jailer
