Tell me, sir
Where's Sara gone?
Sara's never coming back
Sara, sir, was the time of my life, but
She's never coming back
The house has been sold
And the bar's been torn down
Sir, Sara's never coming back
The curtains already closed
But we were still drinking inside
That happened quite often back then
For us the night
still had to really get going
There was nothing to do during the day anyway
And the night kept on going
As long as she wanted
And we just hoped
it would never end
But tell me, sir
Where's Sara gone?
Sara's never coming back
Sara, sir, was the time of my life, but
She's never coming back
The empty glasses, we slyly put
on the edge of the bar
We'd then wait
like a bunch of old goats
till Sara leaned forward
And we drank like crazy
'Cause the emptier the glasses
the more insight you'd
get into Sara's inside
But tell me, sir
Where's Sara gone?
Sara's never coming back
Sara, sir, was the time of my life, but
She's never coming back
The house has been sold
And the bar's been torn down
Sir, Sara's never coming back
And Sara would also spin
always the records
you most wanted to hear
Always the same songs
but they sounded every time
better than ever before
And then we'd jump on the table
the chairs pushed aside
'Who'll come with me?'
But tell me, sir
Where's Sara gone?
Sara's never coming back
Sara, sir, was the time of my life
But she's never coming back
The house has been sold
And the bar's been torn down
Sir, Sara's never coming back
The house has been sold
And the bar's been torn down
Sir, Sara's never coming back

SONG MEANING

“Sara” by the Belgian band Yevgueni is a nostalgic postcard from long-gone, golden nights in a favourite neighbourhood bar. The storyteller keeps asking, “Waar is Sara gebleven?”“Where has Sara gone?” — while admitting she will never return. Sara is probably the charismatic bartender who ruled the room with music, poured drinks, and made every evening feel like the best one yet. Her bar was the gang’s refuge: curtains closed, record player spinning the same beloved songs, friends dancing on tables and drinking “like crazy” just to watch Sara lean over the counter. The ritual was equal parts mischief and magic, turning ordinary nights into legendary memories.

Now the house is sold, the counter ripped out, and only empty glasses and unanswered questions remain. The repeated refrain drives home a bittersweet truth: Sara is gone, and with her goes an entire era of carefree youth, camaraderie, and possibility. The song captures that universal pang when a cherished place — and the person who made it special — disappears, leaving us to raise an imaginary glass to what once was.
