Pizmon (3x)

LEIPZIG, BARCELONA

On the way between Leipzig and Barcelona,
The long black lane, and rain covers the picture,
Mustard bushes dazzle, no air to breathe,
We count the hours and await the rising of the sun,
The end of the tunnel.

Chorus:
You are broken, for a short while,
And you pull yourself together again
When the guitar saws through the night.

On the way, we always take a nap,
The fog outside remains steady,
And the radio cuts the silence again,
We throw the stubs away and wait for the border
Which comes closer.

Chorus (3x)

Note:
The song was written while Rami Fortis was on a tour across Europe with his former band Minimal Compact, before the fall of the Iron Curtain.
