Back in '39, that year
people started to wage war.
As for me, I was too little, I couldn't understand
what war was.

I watched the flowers and the water in the river,
or I played hide-and-seek on Elm Square.
On Elm Square.
There were no more celebrations, no more sunday dances,
only a few elderly were left on Elm Square.
On Elm Square.
We listened to the in secret, behind
the shadow of our curtains
while .
And then, at last
the year '45 came.

Back in '45, that year
people were ending the war.
As for me, I had grown up, still I couldn't understand
why people wage wars.

I watched the flowers and the water in the river,
boys kissed me on Elm Square.
On Elm Square.
There were balls everywhere, lots of sunday dances.
Mariages were celebrated on Elm Square.
On Elm Square.
We basked in the sun, we got drunk on sunlight,
we drew the curtains
while Europe was sorted into several parts.
The war was over.
And, all the same, since then

Since then, all that while
people keep on waging wars.
As for me, I'm an adult now, and I still can't understand
why people wage wars

while there are flowers, birds, rivers
and children loving one another on Elm Square.
The weather is nice today.
It is today, but could it be that tomorrow on Earth
a paradise would die and elude us,
elude us forever and ever?
No more children in the sun, no more peace on Earth.
No more flowers, no more birds.
But that's couldn't happen, the weather is so nice
today, so nice
on Elm Square.
So nice...
