Origineel
(Brooker / Fisher / Reid)
We were young, we were brave, we were true, we were strong
Far away the bombs an’ the buildings explodin’
There was no way out
It was black, it was white, we had so much to say
Right or wrong… The truth won’t fade away
We had our hopes, we had our dreams, we were young, we were old
We saw our future self-destructing: there were roles that we played
Some were good, some were bad: there was so much to say
Right or wrong… The truth won’t fade away
Vertaling
(Brooker / Fisher / Reid)
We waren jong, we waren dapper, we waren eerlijk, we waren sterk
Far away the bombs an’ the buildings explodin’
There was no way out
It was black, it was white, we had so much to say
Goed of fout… De waarheid zal niet vervagen
We hadden onze hoop, we hadden onze dromen, we waren jong, we waren oud
We zagen onze toekomst zichzelf vernietigen: er waren rollen die we speelden
Sommige waren goed, sommige waren slecht: er was zoveel te zeggen
Goed of fout… De waarheid zal niet vervagen
