Lyrics Paternoster - Old Danube

Swans are swimming birds are singing
Every man enjoys the day
Boats are dancing with the water
Children balls in hand to play

Nothing these reminds of sorrow
Peace and silence everywhere
Man a place of relaxation
Which you don't have to prepare

Meadows full of paper boxes
Dogs are sniffing at the tins
Cigarettes and empty bottles
Do not leave and see your sins

Some years later bare and dirty
Elephants with cars and TV
Had trempled down these peaceful places
Dust and smoke and dirt you see
