They flee by like nocturnal shadows. No man can know them, no hunter can shoot them, with powder and lead: Thoughts are free!
I think what I want, and what delights me, still always reticent, and as it is suitable. My wish and desire, no one can deny me and so it will always be: Thoughts are free!
And if I am thrown into the darkest dungeon, all this would be futile work, because my thoughts tear all gates and walls apart. Thoughts are free!
So I will renounce my sorrows forever, and never again will torture myself with some fancy ideas. In one's heart, one can always laugh and joke and think at the same time: Thoughts are free!
I love wine, and my girl even more, Only I like her best of all. I'm not alone with my glass of wine, my girl is with me: Thoughts are free!
