| Bombed ruins form the skyline
|
| Burnt places — all around
|
| People trading their possessions
|
| A keepsake for some bread
|
| Crowded trains full of people
|
| Remindful of a cattle transport
|
| Families get separated
|
| On the way to their new homes
|
| Still the children search for cover
|
| When they hear the airplanes
|
| Their bags are always packed
|
| Just with dolls, books and pencils
|
| It is the summer of fourty-five
|
| Black-market dealers are in the streets
|
| But we all feel so alive
|
| Now we get again what we need
|
| It is the summer of fourty-five
|
| Black-market dealers are in the streets
|
| But we all feel so alive
|
| Now we get again what we need
|
| The first black men they ever saw
|
| Were among the foreign soldiers
|
| Some of them were really kind
|
| Bringing food and sometimes sweets
|
| No more sirens in the night
|
| Which made you run into the basement
|
| No more fear of foreign soldiers
|
| Who came to search the house
|
| It is the summer of fourty-five
|
| Black-market dealers are in the streets
|
| But we all feel so alive
|
| Now we get again what we need
|
| It is the summer of fourty-five
|
| Black-market dealers are in the streets
|
| But we all feel so alive
|
| Now we get again what we need
|
| It is the summer of fourty-five
|
| Black-market dealers are in the streets
|
| But we all feel so alive
|
| Now we get again what we need
|
| It is the summer of fourty-five
|
| Black-market dealers are in the streets
|
| But we all feel so alive
|
| Now we get again what we need |
