Flori de plastic [English translation]

Plastic flowers

They never wither, nor die

Plastic flowers

Watch them all spread underground

Their looks are fantastic,

But that is all that stays true

Plastic flowers

Their roots have grown far and wide

Dire landscapes, in jungles of tar

The wind blows them gently as they all rise

With their blind eyes shut, devoid of all senses

Bearing names of saints and thousands of sins

And we are all flowers without roots

With empty souls wandering still

To fill them up with disease and misery

And the sun scorches us for leaving him

We aren't bound by the ground, we don't flow with the water

The wind doesn't touch us, we're all covered by jackets

When flower buries flower, which do you think still carries the pain?

Plastic flowers

They never wither, nor die

Plastic flowers

Watch them all spread underground

Their looks are fantastic,

But that is all that stays true

Plastic flowers

Their roots have grown far and wide

The petals are lies, all secretly glued

They all get sold not by piece, but in bulk

On any occasion, they're all of good use

They all act as though they're alive!

And we are all flowers without roots

With empty souls wandering still

To fill them up with disease and misery

And the sun scorches us for leaving him

We aren't bound by the ground, we don't flow with the water

The wind doesn't touch us, we're all covered by jackets

When flower buries flower, which do you think still carries the pain?

Plastic flowers

They never wither, nor die

Plastic flowers

Watch them all spread underground

Their looks are fantastic,

But that is all that stays true

Plastic flowers

Their roots have grown far and wide
