Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics
A twelve year old boy and his little sisterUn niño de doce años y su hermanita
Were outside down the square playing hide and seekEstaban afuera en la plaza jugando a las escondidas
This droning sound came, a kind of sinisterUn sonido zumbante llegó, algo siniestro
Trucks appeared spreading smelly diesel reekCamiones aparecieron esparciendo un hedor a diésel
Slowly they approached, roaring and rattlingPoco a poco se acercaban, rugiendo y cascabeleando
He grabbed his sister by the hand while they watched them goÉl tomó de la mano a su hermana mientras los veían pasar
Got a wink from a guy, smiling and wavingRecibió un guiño de un tipo, sonriendo y saludando
Easy they passed by and they stopped at their homeFácilmente pasaron y se detuvieron en su casa
An officer screaming, urged his men onUn oficial gritando, instaba a sus hombres
Soldiers rushed down the place and smashed the front doorSoldados se apresuraron y destrozaron la puerta principal
Paralyzed with fear, there they stood all aloneParalizados por el miedo, allí se quedaron solos
Mother crying, what the hell they're looking forLa madre llorando, ¿qué demonios están buscando?
Then their father came out, pointed with a gunEntonces su padre salió, apuntando con un arma
Hands behind his head, they forced him to obeyManos detrás de la cabeza, lo obligaron a obedecer
Eyes were searchin', his girl and his sonLos ojos buscaban, a su niña y a su hijo
The very last glimpse then they took him awayEl último vistazo y luego se lo llevaron
That day they were searchingEse día estaban buscando
Will it ever be like it used to be¿Será alguna vez como solía ser?
They were searchingEstaban buscando
In the heat of the nightEn el calor de la noche
They were calling his nameEstaban llamando su nombre
It came all by surpriseTodo tomó por sorpresa
Will it ever be the same¿Será alguna vez igual?
War passed by, man was releasedPasó la guerra, el hombre fue liberado
Time for celebration, a family reuniteTiempo de celebración, una familia se reúne
But the country was divided in west and eastPero el país estaba dividido en oeste y este
He found himself free but on the wrong sideSe encontró libre pero en el lado equivocado
That day they were searchingEse día estaban buscando
Will it ever be like it used to be¿Será alguna vez como solía ser?
They were searchingEstaban buscando
In the heat of the nightEn el calor de la noche
They were calling his nameEstaban llamando su nombre
It came all by surpriseTodo tomó por sorpresa
Will it ever be the same¿Será alguna vez igual?
After 45 years, a new GermanyDespués de 45 años, una nueva Alemania
A man stood up to claim his propertyUn hombre se levantó para reclamar su propiedad
Yellow coloured documents from the good old daysDocumentos de color amarillo de los buenos tiempos
Were safe on the backseatEstaban seguros en el asiento trasero
In a dancin' suitcaseEn una maleta de baile
The lodges were empty when he crossed the borderLas cabañas estaban vacías cuando cruzó la frontera
Riding back in time, the road grew worseRetrocediendo en el tiempo, el camino empeoraba
On the way to a part of his childhoodEn camino a una parte de su infancia
In a land of nowhere, just dismissed from a curseEn una tierra de la nada, simplemente liberado de una maldición
That day they were searchingEse día estaban buscando
Will it ever be like it used to be¿Será alguna vez como solía ser?
They were searchingEstaban buscando
In the heat of the nightEn el calor de la noche
They were calling your nameEstaban llamando tu nombre
It came all by surpriseTodo tomó por sorpresa
Will it ever be the same¿Será alguna vez igual?
It will never be the sameNunca será igual
It will never be the sameNunca será igual
It will never be the sameNunca será igual
It will never be the sameNunca será igual
