No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the Brave New World arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I


Счастливого нового года! (перевод)

Столы пустые,
Фейерверки ссажены
Вот и всё, вот и мы
Стали чуточку грустней.
И пустым всё веселье,
Нам покажется с утра.
Всё не так как вчера
Значит нам сказать пора...

Happy New Year
Happy New Year
Этот мир может станет чуть добрей
И в толпе случайной мы найдём друзей
Happy New Year
Happy New Year
Будет мир нам надеждаю сеять
Где найдём мы наче радость бытия.
Ты и я...

Вот новый день
Каждый новый всё смелей
Он цветёт
Как репей на кострище прежних дней
Что же. Глуп человек: он в движении ищ
