(Friedrich Hollaender)
[Note: The song is sung in four different languages representing the situation of Berlin shortly after World War II (English, German, French, and Russian). Berlin was divided into four zones, occupied by the American, British, Russian, and French Army.]
Amidst the ruins of Berlin
Trees are in bloom as they have never been.
Sometimes at night you feel in all your sorrow
A perfume as soft as sweet tomorrow.
That's when you realize at last
They won't return - those phantoms of the past
A brand new spring is to begin
Out of the ruins of Berlin!
Amidst the ruins of Berlin
Trees are in bloom as they have never been.
A perfume as soft as sweet tomorrow.
That's when you realize at last
They won't return - those phantoms of the past
A brand new spring is to begin
Out of the ruins of Berlin!
In den Ruinen von Berlin,
Fangen die Blumen wieder anzublühn,
Und in der Nacht spürst du von allen Seiten,
Einen Duft als wie aus alten Zeiten.
Dans les ruines de Berlin
Les avant-fleurs parfumées tant jamais!
И на развалинах Берлина
Начнётся новая весна!
[I na razvalinah Berlina]
[nacniotsya novaya vesna!]
