May There Always Be Sunshine

Poost sig dah bood yet solntzay
Poost sig dah bood yet nyebah
Poost sig dah bood yet Mama
Poost sig dah boo doo yah

Bright blue the sky.
Sun up on high—
That was the little boy's picture
He drew for you
Wrote for you, too
Just to make clear what he drew.

Chorus:

May there always be sunshine,
May there always be blue skies,
May there always be mummy,
May there always be me!

My little friend,
Listen, my friend,
Peace is the dream of the people
Hearts old and young
Never have done
Singing the song you have sung.

Chorus

Soldier lad, stay!
Hear what we say—
War would make all of us losers
Peace is our prize
Millions of eyes
Anxiously gaze at the skies.

Chorus

Down with all war!
We want no more.
People stand up for you children
Sing everyone—
Peace must be won,
Dark clouds must not hide the sun.
