Текст песни: Irene. + перевод

Oh Irene I’ve been your neighbor

For forty years or more

Oh I used to see you get the paper

Or standing at the door

I didn’t know you very well

But I saw it on the news

Oh Irene, Irene

What is there to do?

Oh the people hear the gunshots

But they don’t do a thing

And somehow the songbirds above us

Still find a voice to sing

I wish I was a swallow

So I could fly away

Oh Irene, Irene

What is there to say?

Oh Irene I met your daughter

At the memorial today

Oh you know she was so gracious

I bet you raised her that way

I’ll try to be a better man

Than the one you knew

Oh Irene, Irene

What am I to do?
