Текст песни The Diary

The water softly glistens, reflects the carmine sky While I stroll and savour this day, another year gone by These sweets and flowers have thoroughly spoiled me But none so grand as you my dear diary, my friend To you'll pour my heart out, confide my deepest thoughts I'm quirky but I'm honest and fair, we'll share both teases and laughs Dear diary you should know we live in dangerous times I'm German-born, but Jewish, and therefore disgraced In the arms of Amsterdam we found shelter from the unknown Whether earth or human-born, there's a harbor for every storm In the heart of Amsterdam we have found ourselves a home She has cradled us and shown there is love for whom her bells toll De Duitsers zijn nu ook in Nederland Aangekomen en met hen ook de Jodenvervolging Mijn geliefded Amsterdam is niet meer zo veilig als voorheen En volgt Jodenwet op Jodenwet Joden mogen niet meer in de tram Joden mogel enkel tussen 15u en 17u winkelen in Joodse winkels Joden dienen ma 20u’s avonds thuis te zijn En moeten te allens tijde een Jodenster dragen In the arms of Amsterdam we found shelter from the unknown But the menacing storm has brought the darkest of foes In the heart of Amsterdam where we found ourselves a home We await what is to come while the bells of Amsterdam toll
