“I was born 20 years after the war” / in English below
People rejoiced
That the war is over
That now joy and laughter will reign
People rejoiced that freedom would come
That the war will end and there will be peace
People rejoiced that no man always again
It won't kill a man to be happy.
That reason and wisdom will overcome foolishness
People were glad that the army was never again
It won't hit the army that the camp chimneys don't smoke
People were glad the way of death was gone.
What triggers hatred in people?
Money? Fear? Divided?
Violence? Jealousy? Ambition?
People were glad that evil was over
When politicians signed peace
Now they unwittingly produce fresh evils
Which leads to a fresh war
People forgot what they promised, forgot
Of joy and pride, they forgot to be
Happy, they forgot they were human.
Now they pretend to be depressed erstwhile they watch
The graves of the dead. They pretend to feel a threat.
And that they are overtaken by the destiny of the world, they pretend to
They fight for peace and freedom, and pretend to be people
Because they forgot they were human.
Ref.
And I was born 20 years after the war.
I'm not in the room.
I was born 20 years after the war.
No joy, no peace
No hope, no freedom
“I Was Born 20 Years After The War”
People were happy
That the war is over
That now joy and laughter will rule
People were happy that there will be freedom
The end of the war and peace will reign
People were happy that no more a man
Will kill another man, that they will be happy
that visdom and cognition will win with the flock
People were happy that an army will never
Attack an army, that the camp chimneys don’t smoke
People were happy that the trace of death disappeared
What makes people full of hate?
Money? Fear? Propaganda?
Violence? Captivity?
People were happy that evil is over
When politicans signed peace treaty
Now unconsciously they make fresh evil
Which leads to fresh war
People forget what they have promoted, they forget they were there
Supposed to be happy, they forgot that they are people
Now they pretend to be depressed, erstwhile they look
At the graves of the fallen. They pretend that they sense a death
And that they are agreed with the world’s fate, and they pretend to be people
Because they forgot that they are people
Chorus:
And I was born 20 years after the war
I did not see peace here
I was born 20 years after the war
There is no joy, there is no peace
There is no hope, there is no freedom
