When you sewed red stars
We loved each other
With a rifle you painted for me
Bright new days
That we built cities together
That we sang the same songs
I believed everything you said back then
Fervently raised fists in the streets
Bold speeches
On the radio you
Are promising me
Let's go forward, tomorrow will be now
But you left me empty-handed
All that's left is promises
You don't need anybody but yourself
This is different times
Now you're again relying on memories
You're joking with me again
Watch out this time, darling
Angry clenched fists in pockets
Bold speeches
On the radio you
Are promising me
Let's go forward, tomorrow will be now
