The origins of the creation of a musical piece :

On July 12, a text was written about the Statue of Liberty

On July 13, there was an attack on Donald Trump

The Statue of Liberty was designed by the French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, while the internal structure was designed by the famous engineer Gustave Eiffel (the same one who designed the Eiffel Tower). Eiffel created an internal steel skeleton that enabled the statue to withstand strong winds and structural movements.

The Statue of Liberty was the inspiration for writing the text. We called it Caryatid because it is a decorative column in the form of a figure. Caryatids support the cornices against the ceiling collapsing. The song talks about her upholding Freedom and caring between heaven and earth.

Lyrics :

Statue de la liberté!
 
You stand like
A strong caryatid between
Earth and sky
You are armed
With metal forever
 
You are like
A mother who protects us
All the time
You do everything
To carry on

Take our burden away
Forever
Keep the flame  burning 
And never
Let it go out       
Never
                                                                                                                                                                                                 
Stay ready and don’t give up
Never
Keep the flame  burning
And never
Let it go out       
Never

You are one
And only in the world
A caryatid carrying the heaviest load

Above you only the sky
And under your feet
Broken chains
You keep the flame of freedom
Alive   

Statue de la liberté!
 
Take our burden away
Forever
Keep the flame  burning 
And never
Let it go out       
Never
                                                                                                                                                                                                 
Stay ready and don’t give up
Never
Keep the flame  burning
And never
Let it go out       
Never
