(Katrina Squad!)

When my father left for work, it was night
The morning dew still shone on the neighbor's laurels
When he returned, it would be night
We had love, not a ruble
Much less faith in God than in him
We only had 6 rather fuzzy channels
When my father left for work, it was gray
In my mother's heart
She knew that in the evening he would come back drunk
Tired from the city, the EDF reminders
I saw his hair stiffen
Him sawing off his damn enthusiasm in view of the work done
When my father left for work, it was night
The moon still lit the blooming mimosa in the garden
The trees and the neighbor's 4x4
It was 3 o'clock in the morning
My father's phlegmy cough could have woken up the city

Don't leave, I beg you
I beg you don't leave for long I'm bored
I'm going in circles, I'm waiting, I'm looking through the window
I'm bored this morning, dad left
Now mom has nightmares day and night
At night we see the sums, we see the men in gray
Now mom has nightmares day and night
At night we see the sums, we see the men in gray

When the time finally rings, it will be night
The traces of blood will still lie on my face and hands
When I fall back, it will be night
Too many grams to be grams
Too many stories to be alive
Too many guys without even a soul when the time finally screams
I hear his screams resonate in my skull
I still hear the neighbor's 4x4
It smells like gas in the yellow hose when dad siphoned the semi
The cigarettes and the yellow fingers
My dreams drowned in a half
When the time finally rings, it will be night
The mist and the shadow created by the porch will have sunk me into their bath
To think we were good guys, it would be 3 o'clock in the morning
The time when my father's phlegmy cough could have woken up the city

Don't leave, I beg you
I beg you don't leave for long I'm bored
I'm going in circles, I'm waiting, I'm looking through the window
I'm bored this morning, dad left
Now mom has nightmares day and night
At night we see the sums, we see the men in gray
Now mom has nightmares day and night
At night we see the sums, we see the men in gray
Dad I beg you
I beg you don't leave for long I'm bored
I'm going in circles, I'm waiting, I'm looking through the window
I'm bored this morning, dad left
Now mom has nightmares day and night
At night we see the sums, we see the men in gray
Now mom has nightmares day and night
At night we see the sums, we see the men in gray
