The Band

Such a sadness
I had never felt
But then the band passed by
And everything changed
All the people were singing
To forget the pain
When the band passed by
Singing about love

And a girl who was sad
Smiled at love
And a closed rose
Suddenly bloomed
And a group of joyful children
Started playing
Like the band does
And a serious man threw his hat
In the air
Stopped a passing woman and then kissed her
From the windows, many people appeared
When the band passed by
Singing about love

And many people came out of the gates
Singing along
And many people poured into every alley
And on the street, that poor people
Marched happily
Behind their band
A lone man who was crying
Smiled because
It seemed like the band
Was playing for him
In every heart, hope arose
When the band passed by
Singing about love

But an infinite sadness
Descended upon me again
When the band vanished
Everything returns as it was
Each with their own pain
Locked inside
When the band passed by
Everything returns as it was
