Meu coração é a liberdade

I don't speak Portugese (lucky Google has a link for accent keyboard commands) , but some ideas sound perfectly embodied in particular languages. This line is from the song "Ensaboa, the washer woman's lament", by Cartola & Monsueto.  Struggling  or oppressed people have always found a way to rise above their circumstances through song. Marisa Monte version here.
