I live my life in the dark
I've often tried to push the curtain aside
But I don't know how
I don't know how

I bury my head when I cough
I've often thought, “Tonight, we're bound to be caught”
But I don't know why
I don't know why

I'd love to see you
Where the bluebirds grind their corn
I'd love to see you
In that old house where we were born

They're burning the heretics again
It's awfully bright, all the infamous night
Down in the street
Down in the square

I dream of a world without war
The lonely crowd, singing together aloud
Vеrses of love
Versеs of peace

I'd love to see you
Where the bluebirds grind their corn
I'd love to see you
In that old house where we were born

Sorrow seeps through the floor
It covers me as waters cover the sea
But I don't know why

It's all in the blink of an eye
We laugh, and we cry
We fall in love, and we die
But we don't know when
We don't know why

I'd love to see you
When the angels blow their horn
I'd love to see you
In that old house where we were born
