Last Night
Burgh Chris de Lyrics

Last night I was walking through the harbor,
I was taking a stroll in the port area

Where the fishing boats are lying on the shore,
I saw fishing boats parked on the beach

The news had traveled fast and everyone went to be,
People were quickly informed and gathered

Where the mayor was making a speech,
The mayor was giving a speech there

And the crowd started cheering,
The public began to cheer for the speech

When he talked about the glory of it all,
The audience applauded the glory in the speech

And the boys coming home from the war;
The mayor was referring to the returning soldiers

Last night, they were dancing in the streets,
On that evening, people were dancing in the street

And making music in the alleyways and bars,
Music was being played at the bars and narrow alleys

From a house down in the old town came the sound of guitars,
A house from the old district played guitar sounds

Margarita was waiting inside,
Margarita was inside, waiting

With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light,
She had long black hair hanging under a red light

And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war,
She smiled because of the soldiers' return

The boys coming home from the war;
The song mentions the soldiers' return again

And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
People called them heroes and praised their valor

We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
They were in a commanding position and had divine assistance

And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
They claimed to be unchangeable

Since yesterday, we're just the same,
They believe they had stayed the same since yesterday

Since yesterday, nothing has changed,
They insist that no events have altered them

Since yesterday, we're just the same,"
Again, they claim no changes have happened

But I can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside,
The song implies a new, unfulfilled desire

To be satisfied, I saw it there last night;
The writer hints at a yearning to be fulfilled

Last night I was walking through the shadows,
The writer walks through dark areas this time

Far away from all the music and the girls,
He is far from the festivities, away from music and women

When I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in black,
The writer sees a soldier standing next to a lady dressed in black

And they stood without any word,
They remain silent, no words are said

Just staring at a photograph of someone, and she began to cry,
They only gaze at a photo, and the lady starts crying

For a boy left behind in the war,
The picture was of a boy who didn't return from battle

Some boy left behind in the war;
The last line refers to the soldier who was left behind

And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
Again, they talk about how society perceives them

We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
They talk about their status gained thanks to the war

And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
Reiterating their unwillingness to change

Since yesterday, we're just the same,
Emphasizes their point further

Since yesterday, nothing has changed,
They say nothing has altered

Since yesterday, we're just the same,"
Continuing their claim, even in a new situation

But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside,
Stress the dissatisfaction

To be satisfied, I saw it there last night
The writer appeals for something that might satisfy this hunger
