Here’s another song, this one from the late , great, David Bowie.

This is perhaps Bowie’s most-recognised and -used song, although on its release in 1977 it did well, but was not a chart-topper.

The song was inspired by an illicit affair one of Bowie’s cohorts was involved in, and of course, the The Wall era of Berlin, where Bowie lived at the time.

Have a listen, read along in your own language, and enjoy!

I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be Heroes, just for one day

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day
We can be Heroes
