International lyrics

The youth and the Imperialist Tribune was also addressed by a young girl
from Nicaragua whose hands had been cut off at the wrists by the former
Samosa guards.
Veronica Merco, of the German Federal Republic, had this to say:

Aber ich habe eine Ausbildung gemacht
ak Industrie Kaufmann und... ??

I`m a shop assistant at the... ??
and I must say I`m a shop assistant by profession,
but it is difficult for.... ??

Now and then a little thing gets by.
Now and then we`ll cry.

Like a fall in a war, like a mother`s open arms.
Like a pawn in a game, hard to take.
There we sit on a line, wasting fortunes at a time, and pray.

All the time we are gone, there`s no reason, there`s no way.
Oh, the soul is the one so they say.

She never thought he`d be this way.
Her arms aloft, she holds.
But now it`s all a memory.
And it`s gone...
