Freedom Cry
Deep Forest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let him go to his not-too-long-ago seen master
Early morning I look up at the sky
Fine pocket knife, the rough-bread is being cut
Little calf's trouble has also been cut here
Early morning I look at the sky
My little angel
Let him go to his not-too-long-ago seen master
Early morning I look at the sky
There is a bird, who will carry away
My little angel
I am buried in it alive, alive
I am turning yellow, heavily
Mommy (meaning 'wife'), I will write when I am free
My little angel
So he is listening to the whooshing of the rain
There is a bird, who will carry away
My little angel
Early morning I look upward at the sky
So he is listening to the whooshing of the rain
There is a bird, who will carry away
Let him go to his not-too-long-ago seen master
The lyrics of Deep Forest's "Freedom Cry" offer a mix of both introspection and outward observation. The opening lines describe a person listening to the sound of rain, perhaps contemplating their surroundings and reflecting on their past experiences. The mention of a "not-too-long-ago seen master" suggests a personal connection and possibly a sense of loyalty or obligation.
The following lines seem almost disconnected from the opening, describing a scene of early morning bread-cutting and calf-tending. However, the repeated reference to a "little angel" suggests a deeper meaning to these mundane activities - perhaps they are representative of the simple joys and responsibilities of everyday life, or a reminder of a loved one waiting at home.
The final lines reveal a sense of confinement and the desire for freedom. The image of being "buried alive, alive" evokes a powerful sense of suffocation or entrapment, but the mention of writing to a loved one suggests a sense of hope and communication with the outside world. The bird mentioned throughout the song can be interpreted as a symbol of freedom and escape, amplifying the desire and need for release.
Overall, "Freedom Cry" portrays a complex mix of emotions and experiences, encompassing feelings of nostalgia, responsibility, and longing for escape.

Караоке, пацаны и девчули 🤘
(Писал как слышал, а не как было там, соряньте)
Уж долго, шо я зашёл - шуба наша.
А найди-ка нам бригаду, уран.
Колян рыгал, солдаты бей - козы икра.
И ешь були; ко миски Нила - Ваня.
Буди боян - он дышит лет, халва.
Колян рыгал, солдаты бей козы икра...
Ы! Печенье лом!
*
Уж долго, шо я зашёл - шуба наша.
А найди-ка нам бригаду, уран.
Колян рыгал, солдаты бей - козы икра.
Онегин - мой дар; океан Джорджа, май -
Ы! Печенье лом!
*
Голова - йод. Алаванян! Сама иди на...
Раваналь, ща уйду любить Альвазора.
А, Илюш?
Май нехер? О мой дыхалк...
Завалю...
Ы! Печенье лом!
*
Уж долго, шо я зашёл...
Онегин - мой дар; океан Джорджа, май -
Ы! Печенье лом!

Колян рыгал; солдаты - бегать по утрам...

Уж долго, шо я зашёл?
Онегин - мой дар.
Океан Джорджа.
Ы!
Онегин, карман, Фрегат!

Original lyrics (Hungarian)
Úgy hallgassa j az eső suhanását,
Engedjék el nemríg látó uráho
Korán reggel föltekintek az égre
Fényes bugyli, komisz kinyírt levágják
Volt szép hajam az is itt lett elvágva
Korán reggel feltekintek az égre,
Még, Kisangyalom!
Úgy hallgassa az eső suhanását,
Engedjék el nemríg látó uráho
Korán reggel feltekintek az égre
Van egy madár, aki elhordja majd
Még, Kisangyalom!
Bele vagyok elevenen temetve
Elevenen sárgulok is, de nagyon,
Annus, majd megírom, hogy mikor szabadulok,
Még, Kisangyalom
Úgy hallgassa j az esőt,
Van egy madár, aki elhordja majd,
Még, kisangyalom!
Korán reggel feltekintek a pócra,
Úgy hallgassa az esőt,
Van egy madár, aki elhordja, még
Engedjék el nemríg látó uráho……

My brother recorded the last 20 seconds of this song on the tape from a Radio, and we listened to those last 20 seconds for several months, because this album was not sold in my country. I've been looking for this album for about a year, how? I sang this song (that part) to all the CD sellers because I didn’t know its name, and finally when I found it I ran to my house and when I pressed the button to play and when I listened first notes, I started crying and jumping at the same time! I was the happiest boy in the world! That was in 1997, now I'm 38, and when I listen to this song, I'm like that boy who was ready to pay his last money for this album and exactly for this song!
@xypnosii

Kiskoromban Anyukám ha meghallotta ezt a dalt a rádióban, mindig felhangosította. ;) nagyon szerette. Nehéz sorsa volt, de ettől mindig jobb kedve lett. Imádom minden pillanatát.

I can understand your emotion, man, that song does sound beautiful.
But in my language it's like karaoke - every word sounds familiar and can be sung)
And it's fucking hilarious :D
Sorry if I hurt your feelings, that wasn't my intention=)

Completely agree!
@gamingkanalis
Yeah, but it is important to know this is an old Hungarian Gipsy called Rostás Károly "Huttyán".
From Wikipedia: "The song "Freedom Cry" from the album Boheme caused controversy when it was revealed that the Hungarian Roma singer, Károly Rostás ("Huttyán"), never received any monetary compensation from the song, and neither did his family after he died in 1986. His singing, archived by Claude Flagel, was sampled by Deep Forest. Flagel allegedly paid Huttyán 1500 forints for the recording. The case was later documented in a movie entitled Huttyán, released in 1996.[12] The relatives did succeed to some extent to get compensation from Deep Forest. "
