Here is your translation into arabic:

libertine : عاهرة ( for women "bad virtue") or حرة (good virtue)

stay free : كن حرا

A+

What?
Er...are you sure that's what she meant by Libertine?

Quote:

stay free : كن حرا

This translation is: Be free.
Stay free: ابق حرا

I am sure

....Your translation is word by word :"revises ton anglais

...il ne faut pas traduire mots à mots ".

I would go with Asminha's translation for stay free إبقَ حرا, not because it's word by word but because your translation could mean that you're not free and now it's time for you to be free, while asminha's translation mean that you're free and you should stay free, but it's up to the person asking for the translation to choose, both sound good to me in general.
For libertine I would say إباحي
