| Will you come with us, Stranger,
|
| or will you stay on the ground,
|
| or will you stay on the ground,
|
| used to,
|
| Friday is just a short time away,
|
| whether you go or you stay,
|
| all is finished,
|
| we will never come back... from paradise lost,
|
| beyond the sea there is a land that is said to be impossible,
|
| like the paradise of the bible,
|
| beyond the sea there is a land almost as beautiful as madness,
|
| there live people who are perfectly healthy, perfectly hospitable,
|
| we bathe there all day long in waterfalls and torrents,
|
| and waterfalls and rivers,
|
| and the water is as pure and as light as the air,
|
| no need to plant,
|
| the wheat grows in abundance, waiting for the harvest,
|
| and as far as the eye can see runs an animal called the bison,
|
| the mountains are covered with sheep that seem to be snow-covered to the ground,
|
| beyond the sea there is a land as beautiful as paradise,
|
| and the girls are beautiful,
|
| will you come with us,
|
| will you come with us,
|
| Foreign?
|
| or will you stay on the ground,
|
| or will you stay on the ground,
|
| used to,
|
| Friday is just a short time away,
|
| whether you leave or stay, it's all over,
|
| we will never come back... from paradise lost.
|
| first there will be trials and wind,
|
| there will be storms, seas of oil,
|
| there will be the killing waves,
|
| there will be the reefs the reefs,
|
| there will be sharks, there will be scurvy, epidemics,
|
| there will be, there will be mutinies,
|
| and many of us will lay down our lives there,
|
| will find their destiny there,
|
| will you come with us?
|
| and then one day we will see the promised land,
|
| care must be taken when docking,
|
| many will flow to the east and be drowned,
|
| there will be swamps, quicksands,
|
| you'll have to be patient, find the estuary,
|
| beyond the sea there is a land as beautiful as paradise,
|
| where dwell people as sweet as madness,
|
| so when you get there, you might have to kill the soldiers,
|
| and surely the commander and that stupid missionary
|
| finally it will be necessary to kill all those who believe in me,
|
| then you have to sink the ship and never come back,
|
| of paradise lost.
