They were our neighbors
Torn from our community
How could this happen
How could this happen
Nurseries and barber shops
Sold at bargain rates
Sold at bargain rates
“Please, take the horse and chickens”
And the fields left fallow
And the fields left fallow
Crying for children's laughter
Young lovers' meeting
Young lovers' meeting
Near barbed wire, guard towers
Boredom and hot dust
Boredom and hot dust
Faded memories. At last
Soft voices speaking
Soft voices speaking
To those who did not witness
Utter disbelief
Utter disbelief
It will not happen this time
They are our neighbors

他们是我们的邻居
从我们的社区被剥离
这怎么可能发生
这怎么可能发生
幼儿园和理发店
以廉价出售了
以廉价出售了
“请牵走马带走鸡”
田园荒芜了
田园荒芜了
迫切需要小孩的笑声
年轻恋人的相会
年轻恋人的相会
靠近铁丝网和岗楼
百无聊赖，滚烫的尘埃
百无聊赖，滚烫的尘埃
对于那些没有目睹的人
这完全难以置信
这完全难以置信
如今此事再也不会发生
他们是我们的邻居
