Down the beaches, hand in hand Twelfth of never on the sand Then war took her away We swore a vow that day We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa Oh my country, Europa I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa Ta république... Europa Nine years after, who'd I see On the cover of a magazine? Europa... Buy her singles and see all her films Paste her pictures on my windowsill But that's not quite the same. It isn't, is it? Europa my old friend We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa Oh my country, oh my country, Europa I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa Ta république...

Europa We'll be the Pirate Twins again, Europa Oh my country, look at my country now! I'll stand beside you in the rain, Europa Ta république... Europa Down in some bar along the Strand, Europa Oh my country, Europa I'll walk beside you in the rain, Europa Ta république... Europa
