Lyrics
English: "I wanted to fight so I went to war / I thought it was right to fight for my country / But then I saw the torture, I saw the misery / The pain and the dead and I was wounded / Now I'm paralyzed, all this has changed my / Point of view, I shot enemies now I know / They are humans, I shot civilians now I know / I'm a murderer, I had time to think now I want / To tell those young men who want to be soldiers / Who want to fight in a war for their country / That I've seen it that I'm a victim of war / And that i don't want them to do the same / Mistake every time I close my eyes I can hear / The screams, I can see the dead and the fire / I don't want them to see the things I saw / I want to tell them they needn't to be / Soldiers to be men and I've learned that love / And forgiveness is better than hate and war / But now those people who sent me to their war / Forbid me to speak about the love / About the pleasure, about the youth I've lost"
