Derrière des barreaux
He is behind bars
Pour quelques mots
Because of a few words
Qu'il pensait si fort
That he thought so strongly.
Dehors il fait chaud
Outside it's warm.
Des milliers d'oiseaux
Thousands of birds
S'envolent sans effort
Are flying away effortlessly.
Quel est ce pays
What's this country,
Où frappe les nuits
Where at night strikes
La loi du plus fort ?
The law of the strongest?
Diego, libre dans sa tête
Diego is free in his mind
Derrière sa fenêtre
Behind his window and
S'endort peut-être...
Perhaps he is falling asleep ...
Moi qui danse ma vie
I dance my life,
Qui chante et qui rit
I sing and I laugh
Je pense à lui
And I think of him.
Diego, libre dans sa tête
Diego is free in his mind
Derrière sa fenêtre
Behind his window
Déjà mort peut-être...
And perhaps he is already dead...
