Where Have all the Flowers Gone

Pete Seeger

Originale

Alle radici della canzone (2): Sagt wo sind die Veilchen hin...

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? Gone to young girls, every one! When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn? Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing? Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago? Where have all the young girls gone? Gone to young men, every one! When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn? Where have all the young men gone, long time passing? Where have all the young men gone, long time ago? Where have all the young men gone? Gone to soldiers, every one! When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn? And where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing? Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago? Where have all the soldiers gone? Gone to graveyards, every one! When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn? And where have all the graveyards gone, long time passing? Where have all the graveyards gone, long time ago? Where have all the graveyards gone? Gone to flowers, every one! When will they ever learn, oh when will they ever learn? Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing. Where have all the flowers gone? Long time ago. Where have all the flowers gone? Young girls picked them, every one. Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn?

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE SAGT WO SIND DIE VEILCHEN HIN Max Jacobi, 1782. Sagt, wo sind die Veilchen hin? Die so freudig glänzten Und der Blumen Königin Ihren Weg bekränzten? Jüngling ach! Der Lenz entflieht, Diese Veilchen sind verblüht! Sagt wo sind die Rosen hin? Die wir singend pflückten, Als sich Hirt und Schäferin Hut und Busen schmückten? Mädchen ach! Der Sommer flieht, Jene Rosen sind verblüht! Führe denn zum Bächlein mich, Das die Veilchen tränkte; Das mit leisem Murmeln sich In die Thäler senkte. Luft und Sonne glühten sehr, Jenes Bächlein ist nicht mehr!
