To Accordeon – English Lyrics
In my old neighbourhood I had a friend
who knew and played the accordion
when he sang, he was like the sun
fires in his hands were ignited by the accordion
But at one dark night, like every other night
he kept look-outs, playing the accordion
fascist vans stood next to the pen
and a gunfire stopped the accordion
The already started watchword always comes back to me
whenever I hear the accordion since then
and it has, like a stamp, marked my life
‘fascism will not prevail!’
