Song 

          "The CIGARETTES"

***********************************
- Let's come to me and buy my cigarettes!
***********************************


Let's come to me and buy my cigarettes!



- This night is so a silence,
an air is so a cold!

I am staying, freezing into my bones,
in my  thinnest not heavy coat!

So a darkness, no lights around!
The Moon has slept in a bed.
Just a light of puff on your cigarette
will warm you during this long night.



- Let's come to me and buy my cigarettes!
They will stay dry,
While I am crying
on a side!

- For you this will be just a penny,
a small copper little coin,
For me this mean for me
My life!
To stay alive!



This was not my guilt
to have my birth
on a time
of changes
everything
again.

I wanted so to be a smiled,
Happy!
But a War ruined all,
and it was a sore,
and suddenly,
and sad.



- Let's come to me and buy my cigarettes!
They will stay dry,
While I am crying
on a side!

- For you this will be just a penny,
a small copper little coin,
For me this mean for me
My life!
To stay alive!



See, I am a blind,
I can not see you well.
This war ruined my health,
as someone beaten me.

I do remember my parents,
so happy.
But Germans started a war,
They dropped walls in ruins.

I do Remember sounds,
So Loud.
All Whistled,
Banged,
Shouts,
someone's cry.

I cried:

- Mum? Dad? Sister?
Dear Nanny?
My Tommy Cat?
My dogie?
I can not see you all!
I am now here
into a dark!




- Let's come to me and buy my cigarettes!
They will stay dry,
While I am crying
on a side!

- For you this will be just a penny,
a small copper little coin,
For me this mean for me
My life!
To stay alive!




My Lord! My Lady!
Please, giving Your
Mercia!
to me!

Pardon me,
If  I am not Your Saint
at all!


I am somebody
alive,
I am a hungry plenty times,
I am dreaming
to warm myself
feeling be a welcomed
and a kind.




- Let's come to me and buy my cigarettes!
They will stay dry,
While I am crying
on a side!

- For you this will be just a penny,
a small copper little coin,
For me this mean for me
My life!
To stay alive!
