The Chain
1962
I turn the heavy chain
into a swallow
I turn the dark prison
into open sky.
Together we cut
the heavy chain
I and you and you and you.
We cut it together
Break the chain with bars!
Make the chain again with waves!
Break the chain with bars!
Make the chain with clouds!
Break the chain with shame!
Make the chain with lilacs!
Break the chain with the hook!
Make the chain with the Reveille!
Break the chain and the prison!
Make the chain body by body!
I turn the chain that speaks
into a thunderbolt!
I turn your luxurious palace
into a prison!
I and you and you and you
make the speaking chain together!
Freedom is won!
Freedom is won!
Kitsos shouted
Slaves, rise up!
