To Trieste in the Adriatic
An iron curtain has descended across the Continent
Behind that line lie all the capitals
Of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe
Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest
Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia
All these famous cities
And the populations around them
Lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere
The soviet sphere

Yeah yeah yeah oh yeah yeah yeah...
This evening I come to you with a message
Of leave-taking and farewell
And to share a few final thoughts with you, my countrymen.
I pray that the coming years
Will be blessed with peace and prosperity for all.

Our basic purposes have been to keep the peace;
To foster progress in human achievement,
And to enhance liberty, dignity and integrity
Among people and among nations.
To strive for less would be unworthy of a free and religious people.
Any failure traceable to arrogance
Or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice
Would inflict upon us...
