| Or maybe there was no war...
|
| And people dreamed it all:
|
| devastated land,
|
| Executions and concentration camps,
|
| Khatyn and mass graves?
|
| Or maybe there was no war
|
| And my father has scars from birth,
|
| Nobody died from a bullet,
|
| And the mushroom did not rise above the world,
|
| And mom wasn't afraid of the ghetto?
|
| Or maybe there was no war
|
| And the children did not sleep at the machines,
|
| And women in dead villages
|
| Didn't suffocate in the fields
|
| Lie down with your shoulder in the cold wind?
|
| People, we feed ourselves with bread alone,
|
| One for all, the sky is given to us,
|
| One land raised us.
|
| People, we all have anxiety alone,
|
| One way, one way
|
| Let my story be a dream.
|
| Let my story be a dream...
|
| Or maybe there was no war?
|
| They didn’t drive the Germans along the stage,
|
| And a leather lampshade is a bluff,
|
| And Mussolini is a puffy lion,
|
| Was there no Gestapo in Paris?
|
| Or maybe there was no war?
|
| And the "Schmeiser" is a children's toy,
|
| A diary soaked in the blood of wounds
|
| Was not written by Anne Frank,
|
| Berlin did not hear the thunder of cannons?
|
| People, we feed ourselves with bread alone,
|
| One for all, the sky is given to us,
|
| One land raised us.
|
| People, we all have anxiety alone,
|
| One way, one way
|
| Let my story be a dream.
|
| Let my story be a dream...
|
| Or maybe there was no war
|
| And the world invented it for itself?
|
| ... But why are the old people
|
| So they cry in May from longing? |
| -
|
| One night I thought.
|
| ... Or maybe there was no war,
|
| And people dreamed all this?.. |
