I remember the chilling cold
the shy lamentations of my people
crowded ,crammed into a freight train
two days and two nights without sleep
and soon we would have stopped
to speak soon
I remember the chilling cold
the day we lost forever
our hungry children
thirsty, deprived of our clothes
and it was like swallowing glass
and we would soon stop talking
soon we would have stopped understanding
and I learned to drink
always one more sip
and I learned to drink
always one more sip
how much I really needed it
how much I really needed it
one day I could be thirsty
I remember the chilling cold
the fear of sinking
in a bed of burning coals
which logic or law of life
will never be able to explain the diabolical enterprise
of those chosen men ...
and we would soon stop talking
soon we would have stopped understanding
and I learned to drink
always one more sip
and I learned to drink
always one more sip
how much I really needed it
how much I really needed it
one day I could be thirsty
