Description
Sometimes happiness does not lie in events, but in roots - those that run deep, where everything is familiar, calm, and truly your own. There is a tree under which years pass, and each of its branches remembers laughter, storms, silence, and that very gaze from which there is no need to run away.
Freedom here is not about loneliness, but about choice - to stay together again and again. The world is noisy, hurried, collapsing and being rebuilt, but in the midst of it all, two people continue to hold on to life as if it were a hand. Without loud words, without promises, simply - “as long as we are free, we live.” And perhaps this is the right way to be.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Caché, loin de tout
Loin du monde, loin de vous
Un rêve, un peu fou
Où il ne reste, que nous
Sous cet arbre aux mille vies
J'ai vu grandir notre famille
J'ai pris racine comme lui là-bas
De cette montagne, qu'on a gravi
Qu'on voit tous ce qu'on a construit
On a laissé c'qui nous pesait en bas
Quitte à choisir, je veux être libre
Et puis t'aimer encore un peu
Les années filent et sans rien dire
On se choisit encore nous deux
Et je veux vivre
Et qu'on soit libre
Et je veux vivre
Tant qu'on est libre
Compter les jours où l'on se tient debout
Affronter les coups, se guérira l'amour
Sous cet arbre aux mille vies
J'ai laissé passer l'ennui
Je me suis accroché à lui cent fois
Quitte à choisir, je veux être libre
Et puis t'aimer encore un peu
Les années filent et sans rien dire
On se choisit encore nous deux
Et je veux vivre
Et qu'on soit libre
Et je veux vivre
Tant qu'on est libre
Et je veux vivre
Et qu'on soit libre
Et je veux vivre
Tant qu'on est libre
English translation
Hidden away from everything
Far from the world, far from you
A dream, a little crazy
Where only we are left
Under this tree of a thousand lives
I watched our family grow
I took root like him there
From this mountain, which we climbed
Let us all see what we have built
We left what weighed us down
Even if it means choosing, I want to be free
And then love you a little more
The years slip by without saying anything
We still choose the two of us
And I want to live
And let us be free
And I want to live
As long as we're free
Counting the days of standing
Facing the blows, love will be healed
Under this tree of a thousand lives
I let the boredom pass
I clung to him a hundred times
Even if it means choosing, I want to be free
And then love you a little more
The years slip by without saying anything
We still choose the two of us
And I want to live
And let us be free
And I want to live
As long as we're free
And I want to live
And let us be free
And I want to live
As long as we're free
