I loved the nights, tucked in bed

Floating in a dream, till I hear my mother scream

“Wake up! It's morning and you are late”.

Then the morning madness begins.

Get up from bed, brush your teeth,

Have your milk, take your bath,

Wear your uniform, polish your shoes

Eat your breakfast, pack your school bag

Don’t forget your lunchbox….

Oh! How I hate dawn!

 

It’s vacation time and the nights will be long!

I go to bed, my lips with a song

Floating in a dream, till I hear my father scream

“Wake up! It's morning and time for a walk”.

Then the morning madness begins.

Get up from bed, brush your teeth

Have your milk, put on your running shoes

Run with Dad, stretch arms and legs…

Oh! How I hate dawn!

 

Am grown up now, I go to work

Still longing for those long and lovely nights

No school now, but

The shrill scream of the clock tells me

That my night is gone

And then, the morning madness begins.

 

Now married, with children two

Still in bed with dreams anew

“Wake up darling,” says my wife

“It's getting late for children’s school”

And then, the morning madness begins.

 

Am old now, and retired

I lie in bed, the sun is high

No wake-up calls, nothing to do

Oh! When will the morning madness begin!
