Elle a mis des feuilles à ses branches
Elle a mis des voiles à son mat
Enfilé ses plus jolis bas
Brulé ses habits du dimanche
Elle a regardé l'existence
Tous ces souvenirs entassés
Dans son coeur comme des cendres
Tous ces rêves à demi-fanés

Alors elle a murmuré
"Liberté liberté liberté
Ouuuh
Liberté tu dois bien exister "
Oui on l'entendit murmurer
"Liberté liberté liberté
Ouuuh
Liberté tu dois bien exister"

Il s'est fait un royaume étrange
Entre le mur et le caniveau
A l'abri d'un kiosque à journaux
Il a choisi sa résidence
Il n'a pas connu de vendange
Ni de douceur au fil de l'eau
La cruauté l'indifférence
Se sont penchées sur son berceau

Mais on l'entend mumurer
"Liberté liberté liberté
Ouuuuh
Liberté tu dois bien exister"
Oui on l'entend murmurer
"Liberté liberté liberté
Ouuuh
Liberté tu dois bien exister"

On peut l'ajuster à ses hanches
S'en envelopper comme d'un manteau
La porter à même la peau
Bien au chaud sur son ventre
Nichée dans son dos
On peut se la jouer carte blanche
La brandir tout comme un drapeau
On peut la glisser dans sa manche
La cacher sous ses jupes
Ou en faire son credo

A chacun sa fleur ou sa fange
A chacun son tout premier mot
A chacun sa cave et sa grange
A chacun sa rue son bistrot
A chacun son âme de faïence
A chacun son ombre au tableau
A chacun ses trois pas de danse
A chacun son genre de tombeau

Mais il nous reste à rêver
"Liberté liberté liberté
Ouuuh
Liberté tu dois bien exister"
Oui il nous reste à rêver
"Liberté liberté liberté
Ouuuh
Liberté tu dois bien exister »
She put some leaves onto its branches 
She put some sails onto its mast
Pulled on its prettiest stockings 
Burned all of its Sunday best clothes
She contemplated existence
All those memories piled up high
Heaped in her heart like ashes
All those dreams half faded away
Then she said in a whisper 
"Liberty, liberty, liberty 
Ouuuh 
Liberty you must exist for sure "
Yes you could hear her to whisper
"Liberty, liberty, liberty 
Ouuuh 
Liberty you must exist for sure "
It made itself a strange kingdom
Between the wall and gutter surround-
In the shelter of a newspaper stand 
It
 selected its residence.
It
 has not known any fruition
Nor favour from course of events
Cruelty and indifference
Were attendants at its cradle

But you can hear her whisper
"Liberty, liberty, liberty” 
Ouuuh 
Liberty you must exist for sure "
Yes you can hear her whisper
"Liberty, liberty, liberty
Ouuuh 
Liberty you must exist for sure "
You can take it in at the hips, 
Wrap it round yourself as with a cloak
Wear it right next to your skin 
Nice and warm on your stomach
Nestled in your back
You can scoff at it quite freely 
Wave it about just like a flag 
You can slip it up in your sleeve
Hide it under your skirts
Or turn it into your creed. 
To each one his flower or his mire
To each one his very first word 
To each one his cellar and barn
To each one his street and his pub
To each one his earthenware soul
To each one the flaw in his picture
To each one his three pas de danse
To each one his own kind of tomb
But still we are left to dream 
"Liberty, liberty, liberty
Ouuuh 
Liberty you must exist for sure "
Yes still we are left to dream
"Liberty, liberty, liberty
Ouuuh 
Liberty you must exist for sure”
