Set me free (Sakkulaunnga)
I don’t want you anymore (Pigigumairakkit)
Let me be (Kamaginngilaunnga)
I am free, I am free (Qilagutjaaqunga, qilagutjaaqunga)
I’m tired, I’m so tired
Cut this bondage because I want to live
Feelings of insignificance, depression
Sadness, feelings of unhappiness
Worries and shame
Feelings of wanting to disappear, of not wanting to live
Set me free
I don’t want you anymore
Let me be
I am free, I am free
I no longer want to hold on to what happened to me
That became obstacles in my life
Even if I’m broken, I will be healed
I will stand up because I’ve been given strength
Even if I have scars, I no longer want to hide
I will no longer be ashamed
I am loved so I will go on
I will live because I’m victorious
French translation
Je suis fatiguée, je suis si fatiguée
Délivre-moi de cette servitude; je veux vivre
Se sentir insignifiante, dépressive
Triste, se sentir malheureuse
Accablée de soucis, humiliée
Vouloir disparaître, ne plus vouloir vivre
Laisse-moi partir
Je ne veux plus de toi
Laisse-moi vivre
Je suis libre, je suis libre
Je ne veux plus m'accrocher au passé
Cela n’a fait que créer des obstacles dans ma vie
Même si je suis brisée, je guérirai
Je me relèverai, car on m’en a donné la force
Malgré mes cicatrices, je ne veux plus me cacher
Je n’aurai plus honte
Je suis aimée alors j’irai de l’avant
Je vivrai, car j’ai triomphé
