| Do you recall your papa, when he sat you on his knee
|
| Telling you the stories of everything he’s seen
|
| Parading other people, how they braved the battlefield
|
| Taking on an empire, fighting to be free
|
| Oh papa, tell me what you saw
|
| Tan-tan-tara, can you hear the call?
|
| Oh papa, I can see it in your eye
|
| Tan-tan-tara, ba-bap-da-da
|
| Flying out the funnel, crackling on the radio
|
| Emergency connections on a telephone exchange
|
| «You've reached the operator, what’s the reason for your call?»
|
| Can you tell me what’s the point in building empty empires, now?
|
| Oh papa, tell me what you saw
|
| Tan-tan-tara, can you hear the call?
|
| Oh papa, I can see it in your eye
|
| Tan-tan-tara, ba-bap-da-da
|
| Oh, now they know that a hundred years ago
|
| That they would build an empire strong
|
| Give it time, and these imaginary lines will fade away
|
| The battle goes around until we find a common ground
|
| What’s the point in building empty empires, now?
|
| Oh papa, tell me what you saw
|
| Tan-tan-tara, can you hear the call?
|
| Oh papa, I can see it in your eye
|
| Tan-tan-tara, ba-bap-da-da
|
| Oh papa, tell me what you saw
|
| Tan-tan-tara, can you hear the call?
|
| Oh papa, I can see it in your eye
|
| Tan-tan-tara, ba-bap-da-da
|
| Oh, now they know that a hundred years ago
|
| That they would build an empire strong
|
| Give it time, and these imaginary lines will fade away
|
| What’s the point in building
|
| What’s the point in building
|
| What’s the point in building empty empires, now? |
