The Greatest Generation
THE GREATEST GENERATION
by

JOHN M. ARRIBAS



Many Have Called Them the Greatest Generation
They Had Struggled and Survived, an Ugly Depression
It Was an Era of Hard Times and Simple Diversions
Like Bank Night, Singalongs  and Picnic Excursions
Band Concerts...

Cenotaph Memories

And silence fell around the stone buildings,
As thousands gathered to remember
And some to forget, friends and family lost,
No longer there to support,
Every heartbeat, a tear through time,
Every tear drop, a rip across the universe,
And...

Der Pazifische Ozean / the Pacific Ocean / El Océano Pacífico
Zwischen dem Morgen und der Nacht 
fallen die Sterne in den Pazifischen Ozean.

Die ewige Sonne lässt die Wellen erklingen,
mit dem weichen Schaum leichten Schnees.

Die See singt Lieder des Vergessens,
von versunkenen Bäumen,
von leuchtenden Stränden,
von der Liebe.

Ich...

The Rite of Passage
The rite of passage

		The old green wagon moves a life
		Heads appear like nodding gulls
		Eyes cast down searching cracked flags
		Hopes from people sadly to be missed.
		Un-walked limestone worn and smooth
		Names unknown pronounced with care
		Cats are watching...

Die Schatten Der Nacht /Shadows of the Night/ Sombras De La Noche
Die Schatten der Nacht,
die auf mich wie Blätter fallen,
vergessen im Wind,
verloren wie
Schneehauch am Abend.


Erinnerungen des Tages,
eingefangen 
im Netz der Gedanken,
verloren im Unsichtbaren,
verschwimmen mit den Schatten der Nacht
im Nirgendwo.


Zwischen den Tagen
liegt Hoffnung
wie Tau auf den Wiesen.
Zukünftige...

Premium Member That Night In Caen " June 1944 "
In the centre of Caen
On this war torn night
Spandau's strafing
All the Canadian soldiers in sight
 
Sergeant Baker
Is hit in the thigh
A flesh wound its not
He's in bleeding die
 
As he cries out in pain
The bullets...

What Love Means
What Love means / Was Liebe bedeutet / Que el amor significa  

Love's soft petals fall
Leaving bare thorny branches
Heady perfume gone
But with care and attention
From one rose grows a bouquet


Zarte Liebesblüten fallen
Nur nackte dornige...

Herbstblätter/ Autumn Leaves/ Hojas De Otoño
Fallen im Wind
wenn der Herbst sie müde macht am Baume.
Durchsichtig, wie Stücke aus Glas,
ruhen sie am Ufer des Flusses,
haben ihre eigene Sprache.
Und, wie die Nachtigall ihre Lieder dem Wind anvertraut,
so erzählen die Blätter ihre Legenden...

What Love Means Was Liebe Bedeutet Que El Amor Significa
Written by Jack Horne and Gert Knop

Love’s soft petals fall
Leaving bare thorny branches
Heady perfume gone
But with care and attention
From one rose grows a bouquet

Zarte Liebesblüten fallen 
Nur nackte dornige 
Zweige bleiben Kein berauschender 
Duft mehr...

Rainy day
In the streets of Caen
Arm in arm
With my darling blond

Small cafes
And lingerie shops
The more we walk
My mind in thought
 
How lucky i am
To be walking here
With my gorgeous girl
Whom i love so dear

We came upon a clearing
In the scattering of the town
Bomb damage as scenery
In this place called Caen
 
The village square we reach
Shell casings pepper the ground
Blood and spillage flows
War is all around
 
In the distance...
