Miscellaneous
Nothing For Free (not english)
Grandpa was eighty, still very strong physically
Went from home to church on foot every Sunday
He sat for days in front of the window, he greeted everyone
Always children on the floor, people around him
But one day grandson decided, grandfather was too old
He bought the house and then renovated it
Grandpa was transported to an old people's flat
There he was given a room with a bed on the thirteenth floor
Grandpa certainly had no shortage of care
A meal three times a day and sometimes a short conversation
But grandpa missed his house, his window, and his street
The neighborhood in which his life is located, where his house is located
But grandpa is hidden away, cleaned up and dropped down
Thanks for your work, you can go now
Grandpa has been preserved and excluded from society
Your time is now over, you can go now
Grandson comes around once a year
A short visit, it always has something bitter
Grandson talks about the business, his wife, the house
That house in that nice neighborhood, that was grandpa's home
Grandson says 'Grandpa, I had to go again'
The coffee isn't finished yet, but the duty is done anyway
And grandpa quietly thinks, what did I do to deserve this?
Deep inside grandpa, it is his heart that is very hard grient
Grandpa died, he couldn't handle it anymore
Worked hard all his life and then he had to go
Grandpa was slowly murdered and that took a year
But grandson is happy in that house in that nice neighborhood...
