Donaukinder (original)Donaukinder (translation)
Donauquell, dein AderlassDanube spring, your hemorrhage of bright blood,
Wo Trost und Leid zerfließenWhere comfort and despair, commingled, run—
Nichts Gutes liegt verborgen nassNo hidden blessing sleeps within the mud,
In deinen feuchten WiesenOnly your sodden meadows, drowned of sun.
Keiner weiß, was hier geschahNone knows what ancient evil wandered here,
Die Fluten rostig-rotThe waters swirl in sullen, iron-red,
Die Fische waren atemlosAll fish, for want of breath, sank dumb with fear,
Und alle Schwäne totAnd every swan upon the flood lies dead.
An den Ufern in den WiesenAlong the reedy banks and sodden lea,
Die Tiere wurden krankSickness crept silent through the grazing herd;
Aus den Auen in den FlussFrom hollow marsh to sullen artery,
trieb abscheulicher GestankA monstrous stench, obscene and undeterred.
Wo sind die Kinder?Where are the children now?
Niemand weiß was hier geschehenNo soul can say what shadow passed this way,
Keiner hat etwas gesehenNo eye beheld its brow.
Wo sind die Kinder?Where are the children now?
Niemand hat etwas gesehenNo witness—none to say.
Mütter standen bald am StromSoon mothers gathered by the streaming tide,
Und weinen eine FlutAnd wept a deluge, salt as ancient seas.
Auf die Felder durch die DeicheAcross the fields, the dikes could not divide
Stieg das Leid in alle TeicheThe rising grief—each pond and pool diseased.
Schwarze Fahnen auf der StadtBlack banners flapped atop the grieving town,
Alle Ratten fett und sattThe rats grew plump, content in feast and fray.
Die Brunnen giftig allerortEach well turned venom, shuddered through the ground,
Und die Menschen zogen fortAnd all the folk—at length—were forced away.
Wo sind die Kinder?Where are the children now?
Niemand weiß was hier geschehenNo soul can say what shadow passed this way,
Keiner hat etwas gesehenNo eye beheld its brow.
Wo sind die Kinder?Where are the children now?
Niemand hat etwas gesehenNo witness—none to say.
Donauquell, dein AderlassDanube spring, your hemorrhage of bright blood,
Wo Trost und Leid zerfließenWhere comfort and despair, commingled, run—
Nichts Gutes liegt verborgen nassNo hidden blessing sleeps within the mud,
In deinen feuchten WiesenOnly your sodden meadows, drowned of sun.
Wo sind die Kinder?Where are the children now?
Niemand weiß was hier geschehenNo soul can say what shadow passed this way,
Keiner hat etwas gesehenNo eye beheld its brow.
Wo sind die Kinder?Where are the children now?
Niemand hat etwas gesehenNo witness—none to say.
