My father
Was walking among bullets in '56
My father
Was standing like a proud beast that night
My father
Was there when the statues were falling
My father saw
Also when the tanks were coming
My father
Ambulance, patrol wagon, he got by everything
He only got 'shut your jaw' in gratitude
My father
Till now he lives as a proud beast with unbroken faith
And he's not afraid of anything by now
My father
My good father
Was raising all of his three sons
Not to leave God and home anytime
He's old man even so homeland were calling him
He'd dress up, tell goodbye and spring to arms
