English lyrics to the opening and closing songs in À Nous la Liberté [Liberty For Us]:

"Liberty is the happy man's due
 He enjoys love and skies of blue
 But then there are some
 Who no worse crimes have done
 It's the sad story we tell
 From a prison cell.

 Another day in hard labor spent
 Like all the other yesterdays went
 With just one horizon in sight
 Iron bars morning till night
 Ah, pity those who dwell
 In a prison cell."


"When all things around us operate
 Friends, let us enjoy our idleness
 Beneath sunny skies what a sweet fate
 To laze about and sing like this
 
 Let's indulge in this infinite elation
 It takes one kiss for it to start
 My whole being finds exhiliration
 In the gentle beating of your heart

 You must never think of marrying
 When you were born to live on the road
 While awaiting the wisdom age may bring
 Think of love as a mere episode

 That's our fate
 Old mate

 My old friend, the Earth is round
 There are women wherever you go
 When we finally run out of ground
 That's the time to take it slow

 Everywhere, if you take a chance
 Everywhere, life is a melody
 Everywhere, it's wine and romance
 So here's to us two and liberty!"
