about

Ft Magali from La Fraction on guest Vocals

lyrics

The free bird leaps on the back of the wind
And floats downstream till the current ends
And dips his wings in the orange sun rays
And dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks down
His narrow cage
Can seldom see
Through his bars of rage
His wings are clipped and
His feet are tied
So he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with fearful trill
Of the things unknown but longed for still
And his tune is heard on the distant hill
For the caged bird sings of freedom

But a bird that stalks down
His narrow cage
Can seldom see
Through his bars of rage
His wings are clipped and
His feet are tied
So he opens his throat to sing.

L’oiseau en liberté pense à une autre brise
Aux doux alizées, aux arbres qui soupirent
Aux vers sur la rosée dans la lueur de l’aube
Et il dit que le ciel est son domaine
Mais un oiseau qui arpente sa cage étroite
Ne peut voir à travers les barreaux de sa rage
Ses ailes sont coupées, ses pattes sont liées
Alors il ouvre grand sa gorge pour chanter

It doesn’t matter where you come from or where you’re born
It’s just the place that you began your journey through this life.
