There is not an armorer, not an emir Who is rich enough to build his tyrol There is not enough gold in the whole world To buy a gram of my freedom There is not a flag that is beautiful enough Not an idol, not a god that flies high enough There is not an idea in the whole world That deserves a moment of my freedom I am a friend of the sun and of love I belong to no one I am free like the river And I have no borders There is not a bandit, not a musician Who does not sing love by changing the chorus There is not a sick person in the whole world Capable of stealing my freedom I am a friend of the sun and of love I belong to no one I am free like the river And I have no borders But I met you, you the madman, you the artist With your clear eyes and your sad smile Without hesitation I gave you my freedom I am free like the river
