À grands coups de ciseaux dans l´azur
Une hirondelle écrit ton nom : Liberté
Mais survolant Pékin sous le ciel pur
Sur la place Tian´anmen le sang n´a pas séché
Des reporters croupissent en prison
Ces maladroits ont mal choisi leur question
Pourquoi, ici, le mensonge a raison?
Pourquoi information rime avec répression?
Alors cette hirondelle en plein ciel
Continua d´écrire de plus belle
Qu´ les quatre fleurs de la vérité
Par ici n´étaient pas respectées
{Refrain:}
Liberté : zéro
Égalité : zéro
Fraternité : zéro
Et dignité : double zéro
À grands coups de ciseaux dans l´azur
Une hirondelle écrit ton nom : Liberté
Mais d´Afrique en Russie jusqu´à Cuba
Les cachots sont remplis de dangereux médiasParce qu´ils s´étaient armés jusqu´aux dents
De caméras et de stylos acérés
Ces journalistes apprirent à leurs dépens
Qu´ les questions qui dérangent on n´ doit pas les poser
Alors cette hirondelle en plein ciel
Continua d´écrire de plus belle
Qu´ les quatre fleurs de la vérité
Là n´étaient pas non plus respectées
{au Refrain}
Où es-tu chère liberté d´expression?
Tant de pays ignorent encore tes bienfaits
Pauvre Shéhérazade, j´ai l´impression
Dans tout le Moyen-Orient qu´on t´a coupé le sifflet
Partout les femmes y sont humiliées
Intolérance et fanatisme y sont rois
Lapidation, lynchage et mains coupées
Sont les pétales des fleurs qu´ils font pousser là-bas
Mais y aura toujours une hirondelle
Pour dessiner du bout de son aile
Ces quatre fleurs de la vérité
Partout où elles ne sont pas respectées
{au Refrain, x2}
