You could run out of reach, you could learn how to feel
How to feel everything that would happen
You could say what you say, don't need to learn how to deal
Without knowing what you need, you just had fun
But sir, what is wrong with him?
Can't you say it all, what is happening to this
Boy whose eyes are wide open
Used to be walking around, in this implacable town
There was a noble man, with a pair of indecent hands
On which he kissed, down on his knees
To know what is real, and the truth is cruel
Hey son, what is wrong with you?
Can't you say it all, what is wrong...
Yesterday I saw a boy on TV, whose face was stunning me
Not accompanied by daddy and mom, he was speaking about the bomb
I can't say it was a fear, nor a sadness, nor a grief, nor an anger
It didn't seem like a child's anymore, I was hit on by your
Boy whose eyes are wide open
There is a boy whose eyes are wide open
He knows what happens
Don't feel anymore, except this sense of...
Don't feel anymore, except this sense of...
Today I'm in a memorable square, with some grief and dispair
See a crowd of mommy and dads, holding lights in their hands
This time along with them, they're accompanied by their children
Higher place than I am, they wave tiny flags
Here come the boys
(With his eyes)
Here come the boys
(Wide open)
Here come the boys, once more, now I'm hit on by your
Boy whose eyes are wide open
There is a boy whose eyes are wide open
You could run out of reach, you could learn how to feel
How to feel everything that would happen
You could say what you say, don't need to learn how to deal
Without knowing what you need, you just have fun...
멀리 도망칠 수도, 느끼는 법을, 모든 일을 어떻게 받아들여야 하는지를 배울 수도 있었어. 요령을 익힐 필요 없이, 너의 말을 전달할 수 있었어. 뭐가 필요한지는 무시한 채, 그냥 놀고 있었던 거지.
선생님, 뭐가 문제인가요? 눈을 크게 뜨고 있는 이 아이가, 왜 이러는지 말해주시오.
우리는 이 냉혹한 도시를 걸어 다니며 둘러보곤 했어. 거기에 한 귀족이 있었지. 그의 점잖지 못한 두 손에 아이는 무릎을 꿇고 입을 맞췄어. 그래서 현실을 알게 됐고, 그건 무자비했어.
얘야, 왜 그러니. 다 말해 보아라, 뭐가 문제인지...
어제 난 TV에서 한 소년을 보고, 그의 얼굴에 소스라쳤어. 엄마도 아빠도 없이 그는 혼자 폭탄 이야기를 하고 있었어. 그 느낌은, 두려움, 슬픔, 비탄, 혹은 분노도 아니었던 것 같아. 그건 더 이상 아이 같지도 않았지, 나는 충격을 받았어, 눈을 크게 뜨고 있는 당신의 아이에게. 무슨 일이 일어나는지 그는 알고 있어.
어떤 슬픔과 절망감에 싸인 채, 나는 오늘 한 기념적인 광장에서 어머니와 아버지의 군중들을 보네, 그들의 손에는 빛이 들려있어. 지금 자기들의 아이를 데리고서. 제 부모들보다 높은 곳에서, 아이들은 작은 깃발을 흔들고 있네.
