SOOLKING Liberté English lyrics
Note: Ouled El Bahdja is an Algerian group, their name means “sons of the joy”, with “the joy” being another name for the Algerian capital Algiers.
1st verse (Soolking) :
Apparently power can be bought, freedom, that’s all we’re left with
If the scenario repeats itself, we’ll be the actors of peace
So fake, your speeches are so fake
Yeah, so fake, that we end up getting used to them
But it’s over now, the cup is full
They’re screaming downstairs, can you hear their voices ?
The voices of all those families that are full of sorrow
The voices that are praying for a better future
Forgive me for existing, forgive my feelings
And if I ever say that I’m happy with you, then I’ll be lying
Forgive me for existing, forgive my feelings
Give me back my freedom, I’m asking you kindly
Pre chorus (Soolking) :
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It starts in our hearts
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It doesn’t scare us
Chorus (Soolking & Ouled El Bahdja) :
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It starts in our hearts
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It doesn’t scare us
2nd verse (Soolking) :
They thought we were dead, they were like “good riddance”
They thought that we were afraid of this dark past
There’s no one left, nothing but photos, nothing but lies
Nothing but thoughts that haunt us, that’s it, take me over there
Yeah, there’s no one left, over there, there’s only the people
Che Guevara, Matoub, take me over there
I’m writing this during the night for a better morning
Yeah, I’m writing in order to believe, destiny is uncertain
Yeah, I’m writing because we are, we are hand in hand
I’m writing because we are the golden generation
Pre chorus (Soolking) :
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It starts in our hearts
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It doesn’t scare us
Chorus (Soolking & Ouled El Bahdja) :
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It starts in our hearts
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It doesn’t scare us
3rd verse (Ouled El Bahdja & Soolking) :
Free the one who’s in hostage, free the deceased, there’s a defect within judiciary
Free all those that are taken hostage, that’s all we have
All we have is freedom
And we are the affliction ourselves, oh government, this fire won’t burn out
This is our message, our last words
Soolking and Ouled El Bahdja
Pre chorus (Soolking) :
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It starts in our hearts
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It doesn’t scare us
Chorus (Soolking & Ouled El Bahdja) :
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It starts in our hearts
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It doesn’t scare us

P1/part in french :
it seems like the power is for those who got money
freedom, that’s all we have left
If the scenario is repeated, we will be actors of peace
So false, your speeches are so false
Yeah, so wrong, we ended up getting used to it
But it’s over, the glass is full
Down here, they are crying ,can you hear their voices?
The voice of these families full of sorrow
The voice that prays for a better destiny
Excuse me for existing, excuse my feelings
And if I say that I’m happy with you, know that I’m lying
Excuse me for existing, excuse my feelings
Give me back my freedom, I’m kindly asking you for it.
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It starts from our hearts
Freedom, freedom, freedom
We are not scared of it

They thought we were dead, they said “good riddance”
They thought we were afraid of this dark past (terrorism i guess)
There is no one left, only pictures, (pic of the “president”)
and lies
That thoughts that gnaw at us, enough, take me there (algeria)
Yes, there is no one left, there is only the people
Che Guevara, Matoub,(persons who contributed to free algeria from corruption) take me there
I write this song one night for a new tomorrow
Yes, I write to believe, the future is uncertain
Yes, I write because we are, we are hand in hand
I write because we are the golden generation
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It starts in our hearts
Freedom, freedom, freedom
We are not scared of it

we are strong
oh dirty power
our fire will not go out.
this is our message, our ultimate claim.
Freedom, freedom, freedom
It starts from our hearts
Freedom, freedom, freedom
