Gangsters use it to commit murder and regret after
Never can you control your sense when you hold a bottle
Arouses in you, a spirit of a dramatic battle
Sober up to become a patriotic fighter

He drove me through the lovely wooded roads until we reached the park

But my time hadn't come yet

Through pain, and uneasiness

L'heureuse peste au cœur de l'humanité sans ravage
Le soleil ravissant sur le toit du gentil et du méchant
La merveilleuse lune qui éclaire les horizons au couchant

We went to the fireworks at State Park
