Granddad was 80 years, physically still strong
|
Went every Sunday by foot from house to church
|
Days he was sitting against the windowpane, he greeted everyone
|
Kids were always in his house and parents were around
|
|
But one day grandson decided, grandpa was to old
|
Grandson bought the house and renovated it
|
Granddad got transported to a elderly condo
|
He got a room on the thirteenth floor with a bed
|
|
Grandpa didn¡¯t need to complain on nursing
|
Three times a day a meal and sometimes a short talk
|
But grandpa missed his house, his windowpane and his street
|
The neighborhood where he used to live, where his house still stands
|
|
But¡¦ Granddad was put away, cleaned up and dropped down
|
Thank you for the work, you can go now
|
Granddad is conserved, kept out of society
|
Your time is over, you can go now
|
Granddad¡¦
|
|
Like, once a year, grandson drops by
|
One short visit, it¡¯s always pretty sourish
|
Grandson tells about his work, his wife, his house
|
That house in that nice neighborhood, that was grandpa¡¯s home
|
|
Grandson says: ¡°Grandpa, I need to go now¡±
|
The coffee cup not even empty, but the duty is done
|
And granddad thinks silently: ¡°Why me?¡±
|
Deep inside grandpa, it¡¯s his heart that cries out loud
|
|
Granddad passed away, he couldn¡¯t take it no more
|
His whole life he worked hard and then he had to go
|
Grandpa is slowly murdered and it took a year
|
But grandson is happy in that house in that nice neighborhood¡¦
