Liberdade
Sérgio Godinho
Freedom
We came with the weight of the past and the seed
Waiting so many years makes everything more urgent
and the thirst of a wait can only be quenched in the torrent
and the thirst of a wait can only be quenched in the torrent
We've spent so many years speaking in silence
You can only want everything when you've had nothing
Only those who had a stagnant life want a full life
Only those who had a stagnant life want a full life
There is only true freedom when there is
Peace, bread
housing
health, education
There is only true freedom when there is
Freedom to change and decide
when what the people produce belongs to the people
when what the people produce belongs to the people
