She is a girl of 1000 tears

she cries and cries

all night long

Her tears flow down the street and the stairs

they flow and they flow



One day they'll reach the Rhine, hurray

from Aachen to Turkey hey hey



She went to the river

and laid herself down

the water is alive

and roaring with sound

It said baby please

come flow along

it said baby please

come flow along



In 1000 years she went away

over the fields of snow

to the river bay

She is a girl of 1000 tears

she cries and cries and cries

all night long



She went to the river

and laid herself down

the water is alive

and roaring with sound

It said baby please

come flow along

it said baby please

come flow along
