In ihrem Elend denken viele mit Wehmut an die Zeiten vor dem unglückseligen Krieg in der Ukraine sowie im Libanon und anderen Krisengebieten

How beautiful it was, when peace once reigned.
How beautiful it was, when children's laughter filled the air.
How beautiful it was, to fall deeply in love.
How beautiful it was, for peace was everywhere.
But today, we live in desperate need,
Everywhere lurks terror, fear, and death indeed.
Save yourself if you can, save yourself if you can,
They are coming, they are coming, ready to strike again.
How beautiful it was, when peace once reigned.
How beautiful it was, when children's laughter filled the air.
How beautiful it was, to fall deeply in love.
How beautiful it was, for peace was everywhere.

In their misery, many think with melancholy of the times before the ill-fated war in Ukraine as well as in Lebanon and other crisis areas
