My version is based on a recording by OS MUTANTES:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYibDbcb4yI





Note: The title is, of course, the motto of the State of New Hampshire,
And is from a toast written by General John Stark on July 31, 1809:
"Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils"

PANIS ET CIRCENSIS

by Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso/OS MUTANTES,

new words by Joel Sattler 

 

aka PANIS ET CIRCENCIS

 

New title: “Live Free or Die”

 

Sing what you want

Don’t let nobody stop you

Do what you want

Don’t let them try to stop you

Try what you want

You got to fight to free you

Free what you want

You got a right to be you

Be what you want

Don’t live your life in chains live free

Or die 

 

Want what you want

You got a right to want to

Feel what you want

Nobody can say not to

Laugh when you want

No one can tell you not to

Have what you want

Be happy when you want to

Be what you want

Don’t live your life in chains live free

Or die 

 

Monday find out

The person that you are and

Tuesday find out

Inside just how you are and

Wednesday find out

How far you will go far and

Thursday find out

Just find out who you are and -

 

Sing what you want

Don’t let nobody stop you

Do what you want

You got to fight to free you

Free what you want

You got a right to be you

Be what you want

Don’t live your life in chains live free

Or die 

 

Live free or die

Accept no substitution

Live free or die

There is no third solution 

Live free or die

Death is not the worst of evils

Live free or die

Accept no substitution

Live free or die 

There is no third solution 

Live free or die

Death is not the worst of evils

Live free or die 

Accept no substitution

Live free or die 

There is no third solution 

Live free or die

Death is not the worst of evils

Live free or die 

Accept no substitution

Live free or die 

 

Etc.

Original lyrics in Portuguese by Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso

 

Eu quis cantar

Minha canção iluminada de sol

Soltei os panos

Sobre os mastros no ar

Soltei os tigres

E leões nos quintais

Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar

São ocupadas em nascer e morrer...

 

Mandei fazer

De puro aço luminoso punhal

Para matar o meu amor e matei

Às 5 horas na Avenida Central

Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar

São ocupadas em nascer e morrer..

 

Mandei plantar

Folhas de sonho no jardim do solar

As folhas sabem procurar pelo sol

E as raízes, procurar, procurar...

 

Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar

Essas pessoas da sala de jantar

São as pessoas da sala de jantar

Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar

São ocupadas em nascer e morrer...

 

Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar

Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar

Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar

Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar

Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar

Essas pessoas da sala de jantar

São as pessoas da sala de jantar

Mas as pessoas da sala de jantar

São ocupadas em nascer e morrer...

Now, that's a song for a midnight stroll on cemetery covered with fog and a few zombies here and there so one don't feel to be too alone...
