《Cast out from our homeland, we arrived in a land》
《Where delicate flowers bloomed》
《We trampled on the gentle colors》
《And the flowers soaked in red were primulas》
Somewhere in the distance there’s a place
Somewhere everybody wears a happy face
“Maybe it’s a daydream,” some will say
Come what may, we are longing for its wonder
《We are searching, we are searching》
For a promised land beyond imagination
《Seek and find》
《We are searching, we are searching》
For a land where flowers grow in sweet abundance
Let us take it for ourselves and build a sad Utopia
Make a world for ourselves, no one else
There’s no room in this small garden for a native plant or seed
We have a right to seize it, it’s our destiny
In a desperate flight we have to fight or we will not survive
Yes, we knew what to do from the very start
Let us wear our shame with pride
Make a home for our kind
《Cast out from our homeland, we arrived in a land》
《Where delicate primulas bloomed》
Born to be a sinner not a saint
Ridiculed and laughed at in this foreign place
I will go no further, I will stay
And protect you my love, now and forever
《We are searching, we are searching》
For a far-off land, forgetting what was promised
《Seek and find》
《We are searching, we are searching》
As the primulas remain a distant memory
Let us take it for ourselves and build a sad Utopia
Make a world for ourselves, no one else
In a country we can all be Kings, and we must all survive
There is no place for paupers or self-sacrifice
Words of wisemen, words of wisdom falling hollow on our ears
No salvation to come, no one stands on our side
Let us share this shame with pride
Make a home for our kind
Crimson flows into the ground
There’s no room for understanding
All is muddy and impure
In a shade of melancholy
Somewhere in the distance there’s a place
Somewhere everybody wears a happy face
