Differences
We were drinking Brifcor, eating Topik, Topitop or JelibonThey're cringing when hearing of Crina or Bonibon
while we were laughing at jokes, they just say a simple LOL
They're not playing 'the leaf', 'lands' or 'hopscotch'
We were playing the coccoon, dodgeball
We weren't playing FIFA, but football in the schoolyard
We were playing 'thick milk', Tour de France, blindfold
They got something else on their minds when hearing of 'goat'
We were asking for friendship, they're talking on mess
they're not blushing anymore like us when hearing of sex
We weren't going to the mall, but only at the confectionner's
drinking TEC and eating from the same plate
We weren't sending emails to each other, but (real) mails
We were giving postcards, not holiday mass
I'm not giving verdicts and I don't know what you're thinking
but the kids of today seem sadder than us...
I was at a beer last year
two kids eating candies in front of the stairway laughing
All good until I saw them throwing
the bagful of candies and leaving
I felt like strangling them telling 'For fuck's sake
we were crying a week because mother wouldn't buy us that
and you're leaving, throwing it, forsaking it,
the ones growing you are to blame because you don't know what it was like...'
When it was 5, everyone was out
and we started
An-tan-te... di-ze-ma-ne-pe...
Di-ze-ma-ne... com-pa-ne... an-tan-te.
We were hiding from parent so they won't see that we drank water
while coming sweaty after a day of play
We were reading 'Cireşarii', 'The memories' of Creangă
we were falling asleep happily listening to stories on vinyl
We were watching filmstrips with 'The magic gingerbread'
Sandy Bell was the favorite star
It was like a holiday when eating a chocolate
Good, bad, small, big, couldn't hate it...
Looking back, it all seems
like stories from long ago with 'once upon a time'
maybe I'm nostalgic and I don't know what you're thinking
but the kids of today seem sadder than us...
I was at a beer last year
two kids in front of the stairs were playing tennis laughing
All ok until the last strike,
saw the ball in the garden and saw them leaving
I felt like strangling them telling 'For fuck's sake
We were crying for a week when it got flat
and you're leaving, throwing it, forsaking it
the ones growing you are to blame because you don't know what it was like...'
