melody: La-Le-Lu (Nur der Mann im Mond schaut zu)
lyrics inspired by the original: slightly
language: English
Long ago
Located in that field of ours
Our mind so deep and full of secrets
Let me guide through:
Long ago
A child who loved the stars and moon
A curios so full of daydreams,
Wishes so pure.
Long ago
Protected by the word's echo
Wanted to see the world; its colours
Heavenly gloom.
Long ago
It tried to find the way, its truth;
but when it grew up, learned to reflect,
Start of the doom:
Long ago
It started understanding more
It suddenly knew what had happened
That he was no good.
Sleep, my child
We'll welcome you, your place to hide
A fantasy will be your shelter
Now, close your eyes.
'It' is the child, the singer is another person, and 'he' a completely different person not part of 'we'. 'He' is a very long time ago.
