Far from the island (Litlle girl)

Little girl reaching out for the sea
On a warm summer night.
Sitting here on the bay, feeling free
The moon is shedding its light.
She wanna live all her life by the ocean.
She wanna dream with her eyes wide open,
Till the day she dies

Uh-uh-uh-uh uh

One day in a faraway city
She saw a major storm broke out.
Stomping boots in the Parliament square
So many soldiers all around.
Her father said « pack your stuff and get ready,
A better life for you and your family
is there, waiting for you »
(For you)

Uh-uh-uh-uh uh

Looking back from the back of the car
Seing white stripes flying away,
Ten years old and cruising afar
Up on the new motorway
Her mother said « don't you see that we're happy,
Your daddy found a good job in that city »
But she could only cry.

Uh-uh-uh-uh uh

Sitting there on the edge of a window
In a high Stone tower dowtown.
Thinking about her life back then
Where everything began.
Joining her hands forty seven years later
"I love my life and i love my freedom,
But my heart still beats there".
(Still beats there)
