They Fell (Ils sont tombés)
They fell that year, they vanished From the earth, Never knowing the cause Or what laws they offended, The women fell as well And the babies they tendered. Left to die left to cry All condemned by their birth.
They fell like rain Across the thirsty land, In their hearts they were slain, In their god still believing. All their pity and pain, In that season of grieving All in vain, all in vain Just for one helping hand. For no one heard their prayers, In a world bent on pleasure; Form others people cares, They simply closed their eyes. They'd create a lot of sound In jazz and ragtime measure; The trumpets screamed till dawn To drown the children's cries. They fell like leaves, A people its prime, And not one new his crime. They became in that hour Like the small desert flower Simply covered by the silent wind In sands of time. They fell that year Before a cruel foe. 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网 They had little to give But their lives and their passion, And their longing to live In their way, In their fashion, So their harvest can Thrive their children can grow. They fell like flies, Their eyes still full of sound-- Like a dove its flight-- In the path of rifle, That fell down where it might, That holds on with its might. As if death were a trifle, And to bring to an end A life barely begun. And I am of that race, Who die in unknown places Who perished in their pride, Whose blood in rivers ran, In agony and fright With courage on their faces They went in to the night, That waits for every man. They fell like tears And never new what for, In that summer of strife Of massacre and war. Their only crime was life; There only guilt was feeling. The children of Armenia Nothing less nothing more.
