Lyrics and translation Gabe Dixon - Holding Her Freedom

Holding Her Freedom

She didn't have much time to break down
Didn't have much love to share
On her own, raising a baby
Without a dollar to spare

She knows that her phone is ringing
She knows what he's gonna say
He's gonna tell her to call him
Just like he did yesterday

She's holding her freedom like a cage
She says, "They'll never take that away.
As long as I'm breathing my heart will be
Unbroken, unshackled and free."

Her friends say she's gotta start livin'
She says livin' won't keep us alive
My day is only half over
When I clock out at five

Finally she tells him she'll meet up
If they don't have to call it a date
She almost forgets as they're laughin'
Her past and the promise she made

She's holding her freedom like a cage
She says, "They'll never take that away.
As long as I'm breathing my heart will be
Unbroken, unshackled and free."

Well now time goes by
And she gives him a try
But it's just too soon
There's just not room in her life
So she says goodbye

Goodbye, yeah

She's holding her freedom like a cage
She says, "They'll never take that away.
As long as I'm breathing my heart will be
Unbroken, unshackled and free."

Holding her freedom like a cage
She says, "They'll never take that away.
As long as I'm breathing my heart will be
Unbroken, unshackled and free."

Mmm
Unbroken, unshackled and free

Sa liberté en cage

Tu n'as pas eu beaucoup de temps pour t'effondrer
Tu n'as pas eu beaucoup d'amour à partager
Seule, à élever un bébé
Sans un sou à dépenser

Tu sais que ton téléphone sonne
Tu sais ce qu'il va dire
Il va te dire de l'appeler
Comme il l'a fait hier

Tu tiens ta liberté comme une cage
Tu dis : "Ils ne me la prendront jamais.
Tant que je respire, mon cœur sera
Intact, sans chaînes et libre."

Tes amies te disent que tu dois commencer à vivre
Tu dis que vivre ne nous maintiendra pas en vie
Ma journée n'est qu'à moitié terminée
Quand je quitte le travail à cinq heures

Finalement, tu lui dis que tu le rencontreras
S'ils n'ont pas à appeler ça un rendez-vous
Tu oublies presque en riant
Ton passé et la promesse que tu as faite

Tu tiens ta liberté comme une cage
Tu dis : "Ils ne me la prendront jamais.
Tant que je respire, mon cœur sera
Intact, sans chaînes et libre."

Eh bien, maintenant le temps passe
Et tu lui donnes une chance
Mais c'est trop tôt
Il n'y a tout simplement pas de place dans ta vie
Alors tu dis au revoir

Au revoir, oui

Tu tiens ta liberté comme une cage
Tu dis : "Ils ne me la prendront jamais.
Tant que je respire, mon cœur sera
Intact, sans chaînes et libre."

Sa liberté en cage
Tu dis : "Ils ne me la prendront jamais.
Tant que je respire, mon cœur sera
Intact, sans chaînes et libre."

Mmm
Intact, sans chaînes et libre
