AMOUR SANS FRONTIERS

It brings to the bones rigidity
associated by dawn only with stupidity

But no! my bones will not yield
to this restricted song of one field

My new culture is getting old
older than the color of things untold

So I'll carve on the paths a good way
To reach, float and keep myself at bay

Sing myself a new song
and speak to the stars in a new tongue

My spirit knowing no possible boundaries
I will paint rainbows in the skies,in many lands

Playing a tune that brings different people together
so they can put in one basket all their bother

And learn to climb the highest mountains
For a love that knows no boundaries.
