Florent Pagny is mostly famous for his programmatic liberty song, in which he puts the freedom of thought above everything.
Je peux bien vendre mon âme au Diable:
Avec lui, on peut s’arranger,
Puisqu’ici tout est négociable, mais vous n’aurez pas
Ma liberté de penser.
(I can sell my soul to the devil, because I can strike a deal with him, after all, and everything can be discussed, but you will not have my freedom ofthought.)
English title: Florent Pagny “Freedom of Thought”
