I hear the children crying as they all die of fever Their mums and dads go out, they don't care I hear the children crying So so so sad, so so so sad I hear the children crying, tomorrow will never come
The children don't play in the park The flowers don't grow anymore I hear the children crying, another day I hear the children crying, as they die
It's a winter night, cold and wet There was talking in french Vous va voche The children couldn't understand that, the children are crying The wind blew high, I hear the children crying So so so sad, so so so sad I hear the children crying
The thunderstorm mightn't be there tomorrow I hear the children crying never die , so sad If tomorrow doesn't come the children won't care The next or the next day comes I hear the children crying So does Dik! The children cry
The winter evenings, when Derek was looking for South African men He didn't know the children are dying I hear the children crying Today might as well be tomorrow Who cares? The flowers don't grow anymore in the ground
