00:15I'm sitting in front of old photos.
00:30Images from days long past that visibly move me
00:35Interspersed are letters from my grandfather, places that take my breath away.
00:45I never got to know you, never heard your word
00:50Buried and murdered somewhere in a distant place
00:59Grandfather, I never held your hand
01:03Killed so long ago in a foreign land
01:13Grandfather, I never sat on your lap.
01:17I can still see Broma's tears before me, her grief so infinitely great
01:24I never got to know you, so I formed my opinion.
01:31You were neither a criminal nor a promoter
01:36But a hero
01:43I hold in my hands his medals from bygone days.
01:49Not much remained, only suffering.
01:56His life consisted of deprivation, war, and hardship.
02:03You never got to know your son; you were already dead when he was born.
02:12I never got to know you, never heard your word
02:18Buried and murdered somewhere in a distant place
02:27Grandfather, I never held your hand
02:31Killed so long ago in a foreign land
02:41Grandfather, I never sat on your lap.
02:45I can still see Broma's tears before me, her grief so infinitely great
02:52I never got to know you, so I formed my opinion.
02:59You were not a criminal or a perpetrator, but a hero.
03:06a neuter
03:37There are so many things I would like to ask you, you are in my heart
03:43Grandfather, you want to bear your suffering, you knew, it caused me great pain.
03:50You gave your lives for this country without ever complaining.
03:56You accepted your fate; you had to endure so much.
04:05I never got to know you, never heard your word
04:11Buried and murdered somewhere in a distant place
04:21Grandfather, I never felt your hand
04:25Killed so long ago in a foreign land
04:34Grandfather, I never sat on your lap.
04:38I can still see Thomas's tears before me, her grief so infinitely great.
04:45Even if I never got to know you, I've already made up my mind.
04:52You were not a criminal or a promoter, but a hero.
04:59Even if I never got to know you, I've already made up my mind.
05:05You were not a criminal or a promoter, but a hero.
05:14Whether I got to know myself or not, I formed my opinion.
05:26You were neither a criminal nor a villain, but a hero.
