Danube bleeds from headwaters
Where peace and suffering thaw
No good can now be supported
There in her marshy sward
No one knows what's happened here
The floods are rusty red
The fishes could not draw a breath
And all the swans are dead
In the river's former verdure
The animals fell ill
To the stream from the pasture
Was drifting an awful smell
Where are the children?
None knew what was happening
No one has seen anything
Where are the children?
No one has seen anything
Mothers stood there by the stream
And they wept forth a flood
In the fields and through the wiers
Grew their sorrow all through the mud
Black flags hanging through the town
Rats grew fatter by the day
The wells were poisoned all around
And the people moved away
Where are the children?
None knew what was happening
No one has seen anything
Where are the children?
No one has seen anything
Danube bleeds from headwaters
Where peace and suffering thaw
No good can now be supported
There in her marshy sward
Where are the children?
None knew what was happening
No one has seen anything
Where are the children?
No one has seen anything
