Where Have All the Flowers Gone

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing.
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago.
Where have all the flowers gone?
The girls have picked them every one.
Oh, When will you ever learn?
Oh, When will you ever learn?

.. Young girls ..
They've taken husbands every one.

.. Young men ..
They're all in uniform.

.. Soldiers ..
They've gone to graveyards every one.

.. Graveyards ..
They're covered with flowers every one.

.. Flowers ..
Young girls have picked them every one.

T: Pete Seeger, gendigtning af "Koloda Duda", en gammel kosakisk sang gengivet i Mikhail Sholokhovs "Stille flyder Don".
