Welcome here,
Where the laws are queens,
Where I am forbidden to walk
If I hold the one who I love
I have learned how to silence myself
How to lose the calling
And I make the glasses spin before the fatal confession
I want the freedom to love and to be who I am
I run, I leave to reinvent my life far from here
To erase all the traces
Of our love, of us
I’m afraid when we kiss
That they’ll twist our necks
We must flee our homeland
The houses and the valleys
Because hatred is an inferno
We will let our incense burn
I want the freedom to love and to be who I am
I run, I leave to reinvent my life far from here
Even if I tremble, I’m not afraid,
If we put ourselves back together, I’m not afraid anymore
Even if I fall, I’m not afraid,
If the thunder roars, I’m not afraid anymore.
I want the freedom to love and to be who I am
I run, I leave to reinvent my life far from here

Kommentare des Autors:
armoise can refer to many types of bushes or brush, but one plant it refers to can be burnt in witchcraft for purification and help in decision making, or used as a hallucinogenic. Given the wording, “let our armoise burn,” I decided “incense” would be the best translation for a spiritual burning
