Forêt Noire

Rita Tekeyan
Language: English




Concrete blocks to build a wall
Huge sand bags to build a wall
Concrete block walls to protect their shops
Huge sand bag walls to protect their shops
Shops shops
Shops with no window display
The glasses have cracks
A small passageway Is left to pass
Walk along a concrete block wall
Walk along a sand bag wall

Concrete walls, sand bag walls
Became our hideaway
Our place to play
A mountain to climb
Our childhood stolen away
Our childhood stolen away
Our childhood stolen away
Our childhood stolen away

They keep on working
Believing that the war is over
Looking inside the pastry shop
Smelling sweetness, dreaming sweets
He is building new tawlis to play
New sewing boxes to sell
Children go to school
But they are already back
Bombs have started
Stolen away, stolen away ...
Our childhood stolen away
