statue of liberty

Free shore in the distance,
 Your hand is in my hand,
 Leaving in the past and forgetting past years,
 
 We are leaving the Old World,
 Overcome the ban,
 And before us is the Statue of Liberty.
 
 She won't put out her torch,
 Meets us with you beautiful
 An hour of new life, it will be all right.
 
 In the fog a new destiny,
 In the hoot of the big ship,
 Which foreshadows the end of the great journey...
 
 Look, look, tired friend,
 Far away, far away, she stands,
 We approach it only for a moment.
 
 It's breathtaking,
 And the city seems to be silent,
 Fatigue and confusion cease in us.
 
 Look what a night it is,
 And the city drives away
 The fog that hid the lights from the skyscrapers,
 
 The ship is coming ashore,
 We'll touch the shore soon,
 Our eyes are spellbound and riveted to the shore.
 
 We went ashore, feeling
 How small we are, and the tide is in us
 There is so much freedom in every step we take.
 
 Suddenly I ask: stop,
 Look, it rises as high as the sky
 This is the Statue that met you and me.
 
 And I see that we are alone,
 All were carried away by the lights,
 But I'm watching and I can't leave the dock.
 
 Freedom Statue stands
 And it's like he's telling me:
 You will not find, alas, what you expected.
 
 You are in the indifference of people
 See their Holy purpose,
 Seek freedom where the night hides it.
 
 How good that you are now
 Do not disappear among us,
 May God forgive and bless you.
 
 Catch a yellow cab,
 Ask the city then,
 Could you run away from yourself?
 
 We all like freedom,
 But we find it there,
 Where we banish unfreedom out of sight.
