ON THE BANKS OF THE DANUBE

I sit by the Danube, beneath the sorrowful willow,

Watching as the waves flow from a distant mountain,

And with them I send off sorrows and ugly thoughts,

To sail down the Danube, into the Black Sea.

The Danube flows from the Black Forest, from a distant mountain,

With it sail ships and white seagulls,

I banish dark thoughts into the Black Sea,

So only beautiful memories and dreams remain.

The Danube flows and time passes, our days go by,

Tomorrow different waters will flow, and a new time will come,

There's no return for the past, it won't come back,

Only some dormant longing will return again.
