Lyrics:
They came one day and took me away, from my home town
After some days in a ship, they just send us all down
Even though the world ends here and so far all is quiet now
I know that peace is an illusion I cannot allow
As we are formed in lines under this Patagonian rain
I wonder if I’ll ever come back home again
Still remember my parents’ faces during farewell
We barely talked… They both contained their yell
I try to find the border, but I can’t figure it out
They tell me to protect it as a faithful devout
But as I only see all weapons in poor people’s hands
I wonder if we’re really doing this for our Fatherlands
As we protect that border, we can hear each other out
There are no secrets; fear is what we all speak about
We look each other, and we realize we look the same
And then we joke about it, as if all this was a game
We’ve been here for some days and all the tension now descends
Is there a reason to be scared if we are now friends?
But marshall through the radio suddenly says otherwise
And we set fire, some of us now agonize
I try to find the border, but I can’t figure it out
They tell me to protect it as a faithful devout
But as I only see all weapons in poor people’s hands
I wonder if we’re really doing this for our Fatherlands
I came back home, finally there was no war
Officers hammered an agreement behind a closed door
But after all these decades I think I will not forget
That marshal’s mistake made me kill my mate
And even though I’m convinced it was not my fault
Still I have to shelter my conscience in a vault
But even darkness has not been enough to hide
The fact that I will have never peace of mind
I tried to find the border and couldn’t figure it out
They told me to protect it as a faithful devout
But as I only saw all weapons in poor people’s hands
I’m sure that none of this was about our Fatherlands
