Le coeur est un oiseau
Richard Desjardins
The Heart is a Bird
Beyond the borders
The fields and the sea
In the great darkness
Under the hunters' fire
In the hands of death
It flies again
Higher and higher
The heart is a bird.
In the eyes of the watchtowers
In the streets of nowhere
In the middle of deserts
Of cold, hunger, and iron
Against tyranny
It builds its nest again
Warmer and warmer
The heart is a bird.
It was just a storm
It was just a cage
You'll reclaim your race
And you'll go to the source
You'll drink all the sky
Spread your wings
Freedom, Freedom
Freedom.
