It was the morning of the 26th of April
And all the citizens were sleeping in their rooms
A child was riding, in his dreams, upon the big wheel
Suddenly, a sonic boom
The sky was red as were the glorious flags of freedom
The sirens blared, it also started to rain
but the newscaster said there were no kind of worries
How could they, be so insane?
Merry-go-rounds, spin and spin without a sound
Because there are no more children playing
And though just few thought that there was some sort of danger
The most just said that everything was going fine
There were no orders from the loving, caring leaders
So why should, they ever mind?
In 1970 they built a modern city
To house the workers and to let them settle down
At the beginning there were 50 thousand persons
Now it is, just a ghost town
Welcome to our place, land of justice, wealth and peace
‘cause there aren’t any kind of problems
Rit.
Talk to me, of the things I'll never know
What it means to fall in love, what it means to play and grow, please, sir
Talk to me, about life, please tell me more
‘cause my mom is Chernobyl,
and my dad reactor 4
tell me
And when the robots failed, then came the liquidators
They called them heroes, and they sent them to die
Now you can meet so many lonely Russian women
Actually widows, for a lie
Where there were plans about a future there is nothing
The sounds of life have now been silenced by who knew
Who’d be the next prey of the radioactive fury
Maybe me, or maybe you
And as many pray, just to live another day
There are others that say it won’t happen to us, no way
Rit.
Talk to me, of the things I'll never know
What it means to fall in love, what it means to play and grow, please, sir
Talk to me, about life please tell me more
‘cause my mom is Chernobyl,
and my dad reactor 4
tell me
Talk to me, and explain what would it be
If I ever had a mate, and I had a family, mister
Look at me, don’t forget , I never will
I’m a son, you are a son,
We’re all sons of Chernobyl
