A gypsy sings Of birds with broken wings And painted wheels That never roll Who hears the sighs? Who stole his paradise? Who took the fire From his soul? [Chorus:] And where are the roads to freedom? Where is the life his father knew? Where is the love, where is the joy? And tell me, where are the roads to freedom? Now truth or lies Who hears the soldier cry? He was the hero Of the war But no one comes near He sheds a lonely tear And wonders What it all was for [Chorus]
