War reparations are payments intended to cover damage or injury during a war. Generally, the term war reparations refers to money or goods changing hands, rather than such property transfers as the annexation of land.
Making the defeated party pay a war indemnity is a common practice with a long history.
Rome imposed large indemnities on Carthage after the First and Second Punic Wars.
The 'unequal treaties' signed by the Qing dynasty in China, Japan, Korea, Siam, Persia, Ottoman Empire, Afghanistan and other countries in the nineteenth century included payments of indemnities to the victorious Western powers, mainly United Kingdom, France and Russia, and later Japan.[citation needed]
Following the Greco-Turkish War (1897), defeated Greece was forced to pay a large war indemnity to Turkey (£4 million). Greece, which was already in default, was forced to agree to see its public finances overseen by an international financial commission.
After the Franco-Prussian War, according to conditions of Treaty of Frankfurt (May 10, 1871), France was obliged to pay a war indemnity of 5 billion gold francs in 5 years. German troops remained in parts of France until the last installment of the indemnity was paid in September 1873, before the obliged date.[citation needed]
Ayer pedi que te murieras
que te cargara la tristeza
que todo el mundo te olvidara
que tu belleza se acabara
para que nadie te quisiera.
Ayer pedi con tanta fuerza
que todo el mal que hay en la tierra
sobre la espalda te cayera
para que yo lo disfrutara
para que tu lo padecieras.
Ayer pedi que te murieras
por que te odio de a deveras
pero este idiota corazon
que es mucho mas fuerte que yo
tambien me obliga a que te quiera.
Estoy a punto de volverme loco
por que te amo como a nadie
por que jamas podre arrancarme tus caricias de mi piel.
Estoy a punto de volverme loco
por que jamas voy a olvidarte
por que tendre que acostumbrarme a vivir amandote,
alguna culpa estoy pagando
por que te odio y te amo tanto como jamas lo imagine.

Alguna culpa estoy pagando
por que te odio y te amo tanto como jamas lo imagine.
Y hoy solo quiero que tu vuelvas.
It's just one of those days, when you feel like staring straight into the sun, and you're stoked that the mornings come, hard times come and go man, what's the fuss? cause you've got a secret, you are you, and no-one can ever take that away
chorus
and i'll never forget those melodies from last night, and what they meant to me, no need to fight, everybody get crazy, you need to take a good look at the sign, and free up your mind
skate down to the corner bar, smoke a joint along the way man, who needs a car, when your living in a dream, your reality has changed, you need to be hearing, sweet, sweet music that means something to me, two eyes on the prize man i'm addicted to the booty, old rules are made to be broken, so fuck your authority
chorus
free up your mind yeah (x4)
