Children of Danube

Danube-river is your blood

In which the joy and a grief are hidden

Anything good does not disappear

In your crude meadows

Nobody knows what happened here

Waves is color of rubiginous

Fishes don't breath

And all swans dead

On the shores, on the fields

All animals become sick

From meadow to river

Drifted repulsive smell

Where are the children?

Nobody knows what happened here

Nobody saw anything

Where are the children?

Nobody saw anything

Soon, the mothers stood nearby

And wept bitterly

Onto the fields through the dams

Sorrow came in every creek

Black flags over town

All rats are full and satisfied

Everywhere springs are poisoned

And people go away

Where are the children?

Nobody knows what happened here

Nobody saw anything

Where are the children?

Nobody saw anything
