Lyrics

But, I'll, I'll, I'll teach the little angels
I'll take the harp away
But I'll, I'll teach them how to use the harmonica
Something, I mean, I'll, I'll, I'll just do something like
My punctuality is well known
When the revolution takes place
I'll be late, and I'll be shot as a traitor
When the sun rises
When the sun rises, I will not see
I regret nothing, it was worth it
Going through life without a timepiece
Did pay off
The sun rises, oh-oh
Sunrise
My reward to be free and alone
Even now at the pillar, blindfold at sunrise
Hearing the drums of Catalan beating my time away
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
The sun rises, I will not see
My heartbeat keeps time with the drums (Ah-ah)
But soon my only pulse will fade away (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
The sun rises, I will not see
I smile just knowing
When the sun rises (When the sun rises, I will not see)
I will not see
