M.M. Westernhagen - Freiheit/ Freedom (live 2005)

Marius Müller Westernhagen - Freiheit

english lyrics :

FREEDOM
(M. M. Westernhagen)

The treaties have been made
And there was much laughter
And sweets for the dessert

Freedom Freedom
The band (plays) rumtata

And the pope was already there
And my neighbor ahead of all else

Freedom Freedom
the only thing which is missed
Freedom Freedom
has been canceled again

The man is, sadly, not naive
The man is, sadly, primitive

Freedom Freedom
has been canceled again

All who are dreaming of freedom
celebrations shall not miss,
shall be dancing, as well on graves

Freedom Freedom
is the only thing that counts
Freedom Freedom
is the only thing that counts




"Wer die Freiheit aufgibt, um Sicherheit zu gewinnen, wird am Ende beides verlieren."
Benjamin Franklin

"Those who give up freedom in order to gain Security, will end up losing both."
Benjamin Franklin

"Freiheit ist ein Gut, daß durch Gebrauchen wächst, durch Nichtgebrauch dahinschwindet."
Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker

"Freedom is an asset that grows through use, through disuse it melts away."
Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker
