lyrics

6 - Blind and deaf (5 mn 06) Act II Scene 2

It’s winter, at the front, poverty, I’m afraid, this is war
Feel stupid, we are all, cannon fodder, this is war.

Now new year passed without rejoicing
The year is 1917 (nineteen seventeen ?)
And sometimes I receive letters
Bringing me a semblance of well-being
You describe clearly all the events
In Petrograd where’s blowing the wind
Of revolution, it’s imminent
Winter is rough, famine spreads.
Winter is rough, famine spreads.

Each day spontaneous strikes appear
Always Anna lends her support
She militates for the uprising
We see her in all the gatherings
But the tsar is blind and deaf
To all the poverty around
Then he sends his troops at the crowd
And the blood of his people sheds.

So Anna and a few comrades
Are sent by a dark and cold night
To fraternize with all the soldiers :
Then the regiments join the rebels
The revolution triumphs
And a millenary regime
Collapses the tsar abdicates
A new government takes over

It’s winter, at the front, poverty, I’m afraid, this is war
Feel stupid, we are all, cannon fodder, this is war.

Anna regularly writes to me
I read her again and again
That’s my only entertainment
And all her sweet words echo in my head
She writes she loves me tenderly
But after the tsar’s fall, the town is jubilant
And at times like that, how she misses me..
I wish you were here by my side, my love.
I wish you were here by my side, my love.

But she also knows that her fight
Has not yet fully reached its goal
The revolution is not complete
The power is much too liberal
The provisional government
Is not able to foresee
That Russian people are fed up
With the war, with that damn slaughter

So demonstrations start again
And strikes break out every week
Now every day there are still more
New rebels screaming in the street
But the state is blind and deaf
To all the poverty around
Then he sends the troops at the crowd
And the blood of his people sheds.
