You're not afraid of gods
Or of death
Or of men
You've already seen with your own eyes
All those you love fall
You don't believe in the powers
That oppress and kill
Your name is sung with hope
You carry peace beneath your chest
Freedom is expensive
But your children carry the flame
Its light across the seas
Shines in your name, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
You spit on politicians
Who build our world on fear
How long will hate and fanatics
Kill your brothers and sisters
No you'll never have
Her heart, her values, her roots
Marianne
Your ancestors gave their lives
So your voice could guide our future
Freedom is expensive
It tastes of blood and tears
Everywhere people die with honor
And nobody
Nobody's called Marianne
For this forced paradise
For the imprisoned elites
For Afghan children
For all this, for what's not repetitive
For all these empty slogans
For the rubble of flimsy houses
For the feeling of calm
For the sun after the long nights
For woman, life, freedom
For woman, life, freedom
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
Marianne, Marianne
