He who was strong yesterday
Will be nothing but dust tomorrow
Despite the greatness of his chorus
And despite the weapon he holds in his hands
What goes up comes back down
He who falls will rise
If today I'm crying in your arms
Tomorrow I'll be leaving for war
No, It's certainly not the shining (success/victory)
that will prevent us from falling (prevent our fall)
No, It's certainly not the falling
that will prevent us from dreaming
What remains forever etched
in every (dislocated) heart
Isn't an object that just waits to shine
but rather a symbol of truth (act of truth/gesture of truth/gesture or act of goodwill?)
Tomorrow we will surrender our weapons
As an offering to Our Lady
For those few soulless sinners
In exchange for the ornaments of our tears
No, It's certainly not the shining (success/victory)
that will prevent us from falling (prevent our fall)
No, It's certainly not the falling
that will prevent us from dreaming
Even with our eyes and hearts blinded
With blood tainted by alcohol
And by the brother of the sealed oyster
Standing tall, we'll keep on walking
And once gathered two by two
We'll leave, fists raised
Never will the fear of getting hurt
Will prevent our hearts from screaming.
No, It's certainly not the shining (success/victory)
that will prevent us from falling (prevent our fall)
No, It's certainly not the falling
that will prevent us from dreaming
