On a souvent prié pour changer notre vie
We often prayed to change our lives
Supporté l'enfer et le goût de la mer
Endured hell and the taste of the sea
On a cru que là-haut on nous avait maudits
We thought that up there we had been cursed
Oubliés par les dieux, l'amour et la lumière
Forgotten by the gods, love and light
On s'est unis un soir, pleins de force et d'espoir
We united one evening, full of strength and hope
On s'est levés un jour dans un cri de colère
We got up one day in a cry of anger
En repoussant nos peurs pour reprendre le pouvoir
By pushing away our fears to regain power
Sans jamais oublier le sens des repères
Without ever forgetting the meaning of the landmarks
Libres, nous sommes
Free, we are
Des hommes libres
Free men
De choisir notre destinée
To choose our destiny
Nous sommes tous nés pour être libres
We are all born to be free
Libres, nous sommes
Free, we are

Avancer sans se retourner
Move forward without looking back
C'est retrouver sa liberté
It's finding your freedom
Et sans détour
And without detour
Et pour toujours
And forever
On a connu la faim, le froid et la misère
We experienced hunger, cold and misery
On a lutté en face sans lâcher nos discours
We fought head-to-head without giving up our speeches
On a viré corsaires mais évité la guerre
We fired privateers but avoided war
Pour pouvoir retrouver le goût de l'amour
To be able to rediscover the taste of love
Libres, nous sommes
Free, we are

On reprend notre route, naviguant vers ces îles
We resume our journey, sailing towards these islands
On laissera aux autres de régner sans partage
We will let others reign supreme
Pour pouvoir être libres et vivre cet exil
To be able to be free and live this exile
Libres, nous sommes
