Viki Gabor - Starszy Pan

At this time the streets never go out
and the old town shimmers with a hundred colors
Just look, every single light
has a handful of memories, a couple worries, just like me

An elderly man is clearly waiting
to exchange a few words with a granddaughter of his
Thinks to himself, staring at the white out the window
'How could they forget?
This night only comes once in a year'

Lalala-lalala
This night only comes once in a year
Lalala-lalala
This night only comes once in a year

Everyone's in a rush
trying to make it before the evening comes and the first star appears
But just stop for a couple seconds
'cause in the corner among the snowflakes one of us disappears

Her pale face is easy to walk by,
to grow numb to these couple words
She hides her hands in her torn coat,
checking for some last coins
By night she will fall asleep under the canopy of stars
under the canopy of stars

Lalala-lalala
This night only comes once in a year
Lalala-lalala
This night only comes once in a year

Looking at the white out the window
I'm thinking how much these few words mean
All that I know is fleeting
So why do we rush
This night only comes once in a year
