In these last few years a lot has changed

Things were different before, people were simpler

They often came into the centre.

Now they stay at home,

the village is less lived in.

Before we were all concentrated on my shop.

Most of the world,

most of life took place around it.

A place to meet, to understand each other,

maybe argue with different opinions

but still have a dialogue. That was life,

in my view that really was.
