WINGS

Lyrics: Nautilus Pompilius
Translated by: Tango

You take off your evening gown, face turned to the wall
I see new angry scars on your velvet-smooth back
I want to cry from the pain or find oblivion in sleep
Where are your wings, your wings that I loved so much?

Where are your wings, your wings that I used to love?

Once we used to have time, now we have things to do
Proving that the strong eat the weak, proving that darkness is light
Each one of us loses something in this terrible, senseless war...
By the way, where are your wings, your wings that I used to love?

Where are your wings, your wings that I used to love?

I don't ask you how much you're worth, or how many husbands you've had
I can see you're afraid of open windows and soaring top floors
And if tomorrow a fire will come and the whole building will be aflame
We will perish without those wings, those wings that I used to love.

Where are your wings, your wings that I used to love?
