--------------------------------------------------

Let's talk about the old days
Do you remember the familiar cafe we used to haunt
Rows of marronier were seen through the window
We stayed there all day with a single cup of coffee
Seeking tomorrow which cannot be seen,
all of us entrusted our hopes to it

In the fiery wind from those turbulent days
We were feeling the times with our full senses
Yes we were


Sometimes we slept on the road
with those who had nowhere to go either
We managed to live on without money
The poverty carried every another day
We used to throng into a tiny lodging
and went on the spree till morning

Every day was blazing like a storm
We kept rushing until we ran out of breath
Yes we did


Take a look at this photo, the only remainder
This bearded man is you
Whereabouts of some of them are unknown
But yet nobody can tell that all in those days is vanity

You are still pushing your way somewhere else
toward your neverending dream
like you did in those days
Aren't you?
