[Chorus: Allyawan]

I once had a boat
With sails, a deckhouse and keel
But that was long ago
Yeah, so long ago
Answer me, where is it now?
I'm just wondering: where is it?
Answer me, where is it now?
I'm just wondering: where is it now?

[Verse 1: Allyawan]

Imagine everything you had was no longer here
And the only thing you saved was memories from past days
If everything collapsed in your old neighborhood
And all your friends were dead, would you be able to go on?
I mean, we forget easily that nothing lasts forever
It's something that comes as a chock, it stays with you
We rarely say thanks to the one who created it all
Which can be difficult when the military attacks
There are mines here and mines there – you can't walk
Fast how things become like this – yeah, how does it become like this?
My uncle was a millionaire
Money was nothing, now he's singing out, he says…

[Chorus: Allyawan]

I once had a dream
And I thought it was true
Then I woke up from my dream
And the dream disappeared
Answer me, where is it now?
I'm just wondering: where is it?
Answer me, where is it now?
I'm just wondering: where is it now?

[Verse 2: Näääk]

Where I grew up most of us had the same dream
We just wanted to see the world, create something and be appreciated
We just wanted to find the right way, out in the world, assert ourselves
But I learned; don't take anything for granted
Everything can fall away with time
And Nääk has stood on the path, the one leading upwards
Always done my own thing, so watch out for those who haven't done anything
And always been grateful, for that which life has put in front of me
So just watch me go all the way up
Up to the top, my bodies swaying with me - that's how us young are
We learn fast, and when it's time you'll see
Me put one foot forward, then put one foot back
That's how we sway still today
So put your hand up straight and sing

[Chorus: Allyawan]

There was once a city
Children were playing in the park
Then someone dropped a bomb
And the city disappeared
Answer me, where is it now?
I'm just wondering: where is it?
Answer me, where is it now?
I'm just wondering: where is it now?

[Verse 3: Allyawan]

Don't take anything for granted
Maybe it will end up like Khomeini in Iran or Pinochet in Chile
Where people had to sacrifice their lives for shit
So be grateful and never say your life is a bitch
Walk straight towards the light and just drive, brother
The only guarantee in life is that we die, brother
I'm going to live my life like every day is the last
That's how you should live, brothers
That's how you should be, sisters - listen!

[Bridge: Allyawan]

We take everything for granted
Everything we have in life
We complain all the time
Like if everything was written
How we take everything for granted
Everything we have in life
You know, you know, you know, in life
You know, you know, you know
What we take for granted
In life, you know, you know

[Chorus: Allyawan]

I once had a boat
With sails, a deckhouse and keel
But that was long ago
Yeah, so long ago
Answer me, where is it now?
I'm just wondering: where is it?
Answer me, where is it now?
I'm just wondering: where is it now?
