Before there was poverty
But we had already trouble making ends meet
And now there is the war
This year, these damned servicemen
Have taken everything from me
Six brothers, a father, a mother
My friends, my country
Let’s go, mother
Let’s go away, it’s better
Here, there is nothing to do anymore
For God’s sake
Let’s go towards the east
Let’s leave this deathly place
Let’s go somewhere, where everything is fine, in the best of worlds (x4)
Mum unfortunately couldn’t resist the night convoys
The fake floors and the holds
It killed her
As for me I wept
Only when I realised
How much they had deceived us on the radio
In the newspapers
They were talking about an enchanting world (x4)
Somewhere, where everything is fine, in the best of worlds
