سيدة البحيرة

00:00:10.142 --> 00:00:13.202

التى يكسو ذراعها الحرير

00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.084

نساء غريبات يعشن فى بحيرات يوزعن سيوف

00:00:27.076 --> 00:00:29.694

لا يوجد أساس لقيام الحكومة

00:00:29.762 --> 00:00:33.823

السلطة التنفيذية العليا تنشأ من اختيارات الجماهير

00:00:33.899 --> 00:00:36.039

ليس من بعض المراسم المائية الهزلية

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:02.989

Je suis votre roi

00:00:02.293 --> 00:00:03.544

Je n'ai pas voté pour vous

alzó Excalibur desde el seno de las aguas

00:00:20.486 --> 00:00:22.488

Por deseo de la Divina Providencia

Verá extrañas mujeres que reparten espadas en estanques

00:00:31.335 --> 00:00:33.296

no son base para un sistema de gobierno

00:00:33.338 --> 00:00:37.426

El poder supremo deriva del mandato de las masas y no
