Children of the Valley

Across the Border

Ein Lied uber eine Kindheit und das Tal, in dem wir aufgewachsen sind. 


Years ago we were born in the valley of our fathers 
we grew up with the trees, 
where strong winds used to blow 
oh, sing this song with us children of this valley` o 
we went to school to learn this life 
and what we need to survive 
that "Lenin, Marx and Co." is our biggest foe 
sing this song with us children of this valley` o 


We all had dreams for our way, 
we tried to reach for the stars 
big train driver, deep sea diver, 
pretty girls, expensive cars 
at fifteen we must decide what to do 
our whole life long 
I was too small for the police 
"what a shame", don` t get me wrong 
so I sold clothes in a suit to rich people, 
those were the days 
but three years later I said "goodbye" 
I was looking for new ways 
...for new ways 


One friend of mine went to Berlin 
to change the world and paint the wall 
maybe this was the cause, maybe more, 
for the wall to fall 
with this money gone, had too much fun, 
he sold his body to the industry 
they gave him money, gave him drugs, 
they took his dream to be free 
that was the last I` ve ever heard of him 
maybe all were just lies 
but when I` m served in his parents shop, 
I just see sadness in their eyes 
...in their eyes
