País petit

Small Country
My country is so small
That when the sun goes to sleep
It's never quite sure
If it has been seen
The old wise women say
That's why it returns
Maybe they exaggerate
And it doesn't matter!
That's how I like it
I wouldn't know what else to say
I sing and I will always
Be lovesick for my country
My country is so small
That from the top of a bell tower
You can always see
The neighboring bell tower
They say the villages are afraid
Afraid of feeling lonely
Afraid of being too big
It doesn't matter!
That's how I like it
I wouldn't know what else to say
I sing and I will always
Be lovesick for my country
My country is so small
That it always fits in the heart
If life takes you
Far from here
And we become smugglers
Until they discover
Detectors for the secrets of the heart
And that's how it is!
That's how I like it
I wouldn't know what else to say
I sing and I will always
Be lovesick for my country
My country is so small
That when the sun goes to sleep
It's never quite sure
If it has been seen
