And a strong wind blew
from East to West
and the bells stopped
to play their chimes
mothers and children united
their hearts in an instant.
The hands and legs
of a thousand men on the march
raised the friendly dust
of dreams held in the body
with the power of ideas
and scattered words
expected life values
they became spears of fire.
How many closed windows
they opened to the cry of pain
and how many high towers
they fell to the song of vivid remembrance
and how many doors were opened
letting the sea overflow.
The already dark night has passed
the sun shines in the sky
it's the stars now that warm
the thoughts of so many silent people
there is no more time for torments
to give mourning and wars
today is the dawn of the new day
that he will give forever to everyone
Peace Joy and Freedom!
