Dictatorship Is Always Ephemeral

Long live DEMOCRACY around the world!

Long live peace and unity of the Nations under the starry sky!

Dictatorship is short-lived and lasts only a moment

No one is eternal. It’s a matter of time

Dictatorship is always temporary

Dictatorship is always ephemeral

The constitution is the mother of all laws

It must be respected. The constitution has weights

Justice and democracy are twins

Without peace and respect, nature is not beautiful

And criminals roam the streets like crazy lice

Long live the constitution! We need to get away from a sick world

And drive out the anti-democratic leaders out power

Dictatorship breeds crime, corruption and setbacks

Long live democracy! Long live the people coming out of the dormitories

To express themselves in the streets of the city. We must believe

In freedom and liberty. Expressing oneself is a right, not a privilege

Democracy and peace must float like angelic corks

On the waves of hope, away from evils, abuses and traps

Long live peace! Long live freedom of speech! Long live democracy!

Long live the articles of the Constitution! DEMOCRACY only is for life!

Long live hope! Long live love! Long live independence! Long live life!
