ALAS

ALAS!
1. All is finished we aren’t ours,
all is lost in a veil of days,
I don’t need now to count hours
till the moment I’ll see your face.
Now I’m asking myself some questions,
but the answer lies in the past…
We have lost all our love possessions,
now we’ve got just this word: “alas!”
CHORUS: Since that time I’ve left my illusions,
I’ve admitted all my mistakes.
Now I’m rescued by writing music
and by races without brakes.
No one told me I should have found it,
but today I agree I must.
We lost everything to be proud of –
all we have is this word: “alas!”

2. Well, another word was forgotten
and this word is “why” or “what for”
have we lost all our love last autumn?
Why will I not see you anymore?
I don’t need now to count hours
till the moment I’ll see your face.
All is finished we aren’t ours,
all is lost in a veil of days.
CHORUS.
