Sang til friheten

Du er det fineste jeg vet Du er det dyreste i verden. Du er som stjernene, som vindene, som bølgene, som fuglene, som blomstene på marken Du er mitt lys, du er min venn - og troen, håpet, kjærligheten. Du er mitt blod og mine lunger, mine øyne, mine skuldre, mine hender og mitt hjerte. Du er det fineste jeg vet Du er det dyreste i verden. Du er som stjernene, som vindene, som bølgene, som fuglene, som blomstene på marken Friheten er ditt vakre navn. Vennskapet er din stolte søster. Rettferdigheten er din bror, og freden er din mor, din far er kampen, fremtiden ditt ansvar.

Song of Freedom You're the finest I know You're the most expensive in the world You're like the stars Like the wind Like the waves Like the birds Like the flowers on the ground You're my guiding star and friend You're my faith, my hope, my love You're my blood And my lungs My eyes My shoulders My hands and my heart Freedom is your beautiful name Friendship is your proud mother Justice is your brother Peace is your sister The fight is your father The future is your responsibility You're the finest I know You're the most expensive in the world You're like the stars Like the wind Like the waves Like the birds Like the flowers on the ground

by Silvio Rodríguez Domínguez

Silvio Rodríguez Domínguez (born November 29, 1946 in San Antonio de los Baños) is a Cuban musician, and a leader of the nueva trova movement. He is considered Cuba's best known folk singer and known for his highly eloquent and symbolic lyrics. Many of his songs have become classics in Latin American music, such as Ojalá, Playa Girón, Unicornio and La maza. Rodríguez, musically and politically, is a symbol of the Latin American left wing. Several of his songs praise the revolutionary figure Che Guevara and he is also currently deputy in the Cuban parliament. His lyrics are notably introspective. His songs combine romanticism, love (even eroticism), revolutionary politics, and idealism. He has released nearly 20 albums. The name of this song is in Cuban: "El día feliz que está llegando" or english: "Song to freedom"
