Mury [English translation]

Walls

He was inspired and young, they were beyond counting

His song gave them strength, he sang that the dawn is near

Thousands of candles they lit for him, smoke rose above the heads

He sang that it's time for the wall to fall

They all sang with him:

"Tear out the bars, those teeth of walls

Cast off the shackles, break the whip

And the walls will fall, fall, fall

And bury the old world"

(x2)

Soon they knew the song by heart, and the melody alone, without words

Carried the old meaning, shivers across hearts and heads

So they sang, clapped out the rhythm, their applause was like a gunshot

Yet the chain was heavy, and the dawn delayed

He kept singing and playing:

"Tear out the bars, those teeth of walls

Cast off the shackles, break the whip

And the walls will fall, fall, fall

And bury the old world"

(x2)

Until they saw how many they were, felt their strength and their time

And with the song that dawn is near, they marched through city streets

They felled monuments and tore out cobblestones - "this one with us!" "this one against!"

"Who stands alone is our worst enemy!"

...and the singer, too, stood alone.

He watched the even march of the crowds

He was silent, listening to the clap of the steps

And the walls grew, grew, grew

The chain swayed at the feet...

He watches the even march of the crowds

He is silent, listening to the clap of the steps

And the walls grow, grow, grow

The chain sways at the feet...
