Freedom

Freedom

Let us frolic in the sprinklers,
As children we will romp in the garden.
No shame
. . . for our joy,
. . . for our freedom.

We will capture the sun with our laughter
And the people who see us will be jealous
Of all
. . . that we have,
. . . that we share.

Libertad

Deja que salten como los rocios,
Como los ninos que brincan en el jardin.
No se averguenzan
. . . para nuestra diversion,
. . . para nuestra libertad.

Capturemos el sol con nuestra sonrisa
Y la gente que nos ven sentiran envidia
Todos
. . . esto lo que tenemos,
. . . esto es lo que compartimos.
