Song Lyric
English text
All is quiet
on New Year’s Day
A world in white gets underway.
I want to be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year’s Day
I will be with you again.
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few.
The newspaper says it’s true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one.
I will begin again
And maybe the time is right
Maybe tonight
I will be with you again.
And so we are told
this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars
we wage
Though I want to be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year’s Day.
…
