Liberté de Paul Eluard
Sur mes cahiers d’écolier
Sur mon pupitre et les arbres
Sur le sable sur la neige
J’écris ton nom
Sur toutes les pages lues
Sur toutes les pages blanches
Pierre sang papier ou cendre
J’écris ton nom
Freedom by Paul Eulard
On my school notebooks
On my school desk and the trees
On the sand on the snow
I write your name
On all the pages read
On all the blank pages
Stone blood paper or ash
I write your name
