A little flower
by the side of the main road
I think it knows me

Aroma of coffee
bacon sizzling in kitchen
it's time to wake up

My first Latin class
amo, amas et amat

he will fight for his country
his wife and kids weep

The sea is at rest
fishermen return to shore
the sunset still glows

The old cherry-tree
beneath which the children play
it knows each by heart

Who is the singer
who wrote this beautiful song
mind not, just listen

In the old-folks' home
' Those were the days' someone sings
I think she's in tears.

the mall is full of shoppers
' mummy' a child calls

stands an old wooden cottage
none knows who lives there
