I’m European

I’m European, I have two ears,

one to hear with, the other to listen.

If a Czech, a Russian, or a Pole sighs

mankind suffers, the sky falls.

If a Black,  a Greek, an Indian suffers

it doesn’t bother me! Let God worry about it.

(High up there on Hymettos, there’s a secret).

I’m European, I have two ears

one only hears, from the East.

Fascism knocks again on my door

but I’m completely deaf to such sounds

I have one big ear, the other’s very small

and so I calmly reap joy, civilization.
