Poem freedom and Love by Petofi Sandor?

# Freedom and Love by Petőfi Sándor

Freedom and love! This is my aspiration!

If these two are denied to me,

I would rather perish.

What good is life if it isn’t free?

For what purpose should I remain silent,

If my heart feels choked with anguish,

And my lips, gagged?

Freedom and love! These two are inseparable,

Like the wings of a bird.

Without them, I cannot soar,

My soul is chained.

I yearn for the winds of freedom to blow,

To feel the sun of love shining upon me.

These two are my birthright,

I will never give up hope.

Freedom and love! I live and die for these!

I will go to war, if need be,

To gain these treasures.

They are worth more to me than my own life.

I want to be free to love and be loved,

To speak my mind and share my thoughts,

To live in a world where all people are equal,

And where there is no hunger, no poverty, and no war.

I want to live in a world where we can pursue our dreams,

And where we can love freely,

Where everyone can be happy.

This is a dream worth living for.
