lyrics

We are the brambles of Dourlens
And we grow throughout the fortress’s cracks

Metal clamps pulled my belly,
Monsters flowed between my legs
Examined from inside my body,
Forced way to join the State wards

We are the brambles of Dourlens
And we grow throughout the fortress’s cracks

With my school mates, wisely work in the fields
Clean my children cage, like a lifeless Cinderella
Obedient, smooth, apathetic maids
Untidy drags, easy drags.

Drags, we are drags, and we are locked in Dourlens
For being free wild girls.

We are the brambles of Dourlens
And we grow throughout the fortress’s cracks

If we dare resist authority,
Our bodies are bound to put on ugly straitjackets
Tight on our chests like old corsets, let us breathe…

Let us breathe, oh let us ramble again, and wander freely
Far away, let us breathe, let us ramble again, and wander freely

We are the brambles of Dourlens, we sneak into cracks and holes…
