They Fell (Ils sont tombés) - Charles Aznavour[00:00:00]
They fell that year they vanished[00:00:14]
From the earth[00:00:18]
Never knowing the cause[00:00:21]
Or what laws they offended[00:00:23]
The women few as well[00:00:28]
And the babies they tendered[00:00:30]
Left to dry left to cry[00:00:34]
All condemned by their birth[00:00:37]
They fell like rain[00:00:40]
Across the thirsty land[00:00:43]
In their heart they were slain[00:00:46]
In their God still believing[00:00:49]
All their pity and pain[00:00:53]
In that season of grieving[00:00:56]
All in vain all in vain[00:00:59]
Just for one helping hand[00:01:02]
For no one heard their prayers[00:01:06]
In a world bent on pleasure[00:01:08]
From others people care[00:01:12]
They simply closed their eyes[00:01:14]
They create allot of sound[00:01:18]
In jazz and right time measure[00:01:21]
The trumpets screamed till dawn[00:01:24]
To drown the children's cries[00:01:27]
They fell like leaves[00:01:30]
Its people in its prime[00:01:34]
Simple man kindly man[00:01:37]
And no one new his crime[00:01:40]
The became in that hour[00:01:43]
Like the small desert flower[00:01:46]
Showing covered by the silent wind[00:01:49]
In sands of time[00:01:52]
They fell that year[00:02:02]
Before a cruel foe[00:02:05]
They had little to give[00:02:08]
But their lives and their passion[00:02:11]
And their longing to live[00:02:15]
In their way[00:02:18]
In their fashion[00:02:19]
So their harvest can[00:02:22]
Thrive and their children could grow[00:02:23]
They fell like flies[00:02:27]
Their eyes still full of sound[00:02:30]
Like a dove its flight[00:02:33]
In the path of rifle[00:02:37]
That fall down were it might[00:02:40]
As if death were a trifle[00:02:43]
And to bring to an end[00:02:47]
A life barely begun[00:02:49]
And I am of that race[00:02:53]
Who die in unknown places[00:02:55]
Who perished in their pride[00:02:59]
Whose blood in rivers ran[00:03:01]
In agony and fright[00:03:05]
With courage on their faces[00:03:08]
They went in to the night[00:03:11]
That waits for every man[00:03:14]
They fell like tears[00:03:17]
And never new what for[00:03:20]
In that summer of strife[00:03:23]
Of massacre and war[00:03:27]
Their only crime was life[00:03:29]
There only guilt was fear[00:03:32]
The children of armenia[00:03:36]
Nothing less nothing more[00:03:39]
