1968 English Lyrics

Tell me who you knew
How life was back then
You roamed around the world planning to find freedom
And rejected what the world imposed upon them
(Abolish the opressor)
 
Tell me who stirred up all this rebelliousness
Woodstock and Luther King1, Sartre2 and Gagarín3
What did I lose when I was not alive?
(Was it real or was it a lie?)
 
Fearlessly, let's set our dreams free
And let's return to these times
 
Tell me, did the Prague Spring mean nothing?
Lennon, McCartney4, El Che5, Janis Joplin6, Ferré7
Twiggy8, Hendrix9, Dubček10 and thousands of students
(That threw stones in the streets)
 
Tell me about the long-haired and the Age of Aquarius
The Hippies: a volcano, against Vietnam
Joan Baez11 and Utah
These ideal dreams
(Symbols of Flower Power)
 
Fearlessly, let's set our dreams free
And let's return to these times
 
This spirit of the past is already getting lost
Hey, decide if you want to don't want to be indifferent
(Decide, decide, decide now)
See that there's no opportunity
(Decide, decide, decide now)
See, there aren't any: it's time to act!
