I know you're young but I'll try to explain
_____
Where on the street you couldn't talk
_____
That couldn't be sung on the radio
Prisons were the punishment
_____
Of a country that was wounded
_____
Not knowing it couldn't take it anymore
_____
That one day you'll also tell
_____
That one day you'll also tell
Tired of the dictatorship
_____
Of a life of bitterness
The army decided to advance
That rolled out to attack
_____
Only had lots of love to fire
_____
And then another war broke out
_____
Around the middle of spring
_____
Only with flowers so nobody would get hurt
_____
That one day you'll also tell
_____
This is the story of a people
Who fought without bleeding
And the harsh dictatorship
_____
Fell at once with nobody to hold it up
_____
And the people who went about sad
_____
Then shouted with hand raised
_____
We're free nobody can stop us
And the party hit the street
_____
Went on until the moon
_____
Could celebrate with the people
_____
That one day you'll also tell
_____
This is the story of a people
Who fought without bleeding
_____
That one day you'll also tell
_____
This is the story of a people
_____
And if someday somebody asks you
_____
How life was in that time and place
_____
You can say it was like having wings and not being able to fly
