Copii Romania Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

Gone you sons of darkness 

Gone you tyrants of old 

From the land 

Where we hear Lautari playing 

Here in the outfield of Europe 

A cry for freedom was heard 

Rang out to the world 

And we all stood watching 

Hold the light 

Keep it burnin' so bright 

For the children 

Copii Romania 

Must they live so long In the shadows 

Copii Romania 

Will we turn and say, like many times before 

We did not know? 

Once there was a proud people 

Filled with laughter and song 

Could they feel something wrong 

Through the air was blowing? 

Here by the mighty Karpatii 

The fight for freedom began 

The fight for life still goes on 

But no-one listens any more 

Hold the light 

Keep it burnin' so bright 

For the children 

Copii Romania 

Must they live so long in the shadows 

Copii Romania 

Will we turn and say, like many times before 

We did not know? 

Copii Romania 

Must they live so long in the shadows 

Copii Romania 

Will we turn away tomorrow? 

Copii Romania 

Must they live so long in the shadows 

Copii Romania 

Will we turn away tomorrow?
