Where have you gone, my good old friend?
Why did you decide to leave my land?
We've never been apart before,
I can't believe in this anymore.
We always walked that ancient ground,
Heard songs of life in every sound,
Now silence fills the atmosphere,
Where did you go? I wish you were here.
Wish you were here to bring me light,
Wish you were here to paint my life
In all bright colours of the world,
Your presence is the only thing I want.
Wish you were here to show me the way,
Wish you were here to dance in the rain,
In this changed life there's so much fear,
My best friend, I wish you were here.
I wake up before the dawn,
I can not wait, I run alone
Through storm and snow, through trees and sand,
With hope to find you in the end.
I show your portrait on the streets,
All people say they did not meet you,
But I won't cry many tears,
I'll just say - I wish you were here.
