Freedom my friend!

Freedom to kiss the sky

To bloom in carefree air

To open up

To soar

Freedom my friend!

See! the morning sky smiles

Listen! what the winding river sings.

The garden has blossomed new into flowers

The rays dispelled darkness again

See slavery has fled away!

Freedom my friend!

Listen! there are sounds of chains breaking

Lofty walls are toppling down

Mighty rocks are cracking

Huge glaciers have begun to melt

Newborn streams are leaping forth

Greenery has spread again over the deserts

Freedom my friend!

See that the walls of language, colour

Religion, nation, cast do not divide hearts.

Extend your hands

We have to walk ahead together

We have to fill sad eyes with the light of hope

We have to make weeping faces smile

See the spring has come

And misery has vanished

Oh! my friend every branch is dancing and singing

Freedom oh my friend!

Oh Friend! why do you sit desolate like a caged bird?

Spread your wings! the whole sky is yours now.

You have to give courage to those who are scared

You have to give strength to those who have been oppressed for centuries

A mighty ocean roars within you

Why do you then cry like one choked with thirst?

See! with great expectations

The earth showers blessings on you

Freedom Oh! My friend.
