Текст песни Александр Городницкий - Вспоминая Фейхтвангера

In the spring sun warms
On railway stations in big cities.
From Germany the Jews go
On the eve of the thirties.
Train loud and fun racing
Domestic serene and clean,
In the good old Rhine water
Watch awestruck travelers.

Tribesmen who are wiser,
Surprised loudly: "Where are you?
Jews flourished eternity
Under reasonable power protection.
Ah, the old Cologne area!
Ah, Saxon blonde woods!
Without land, we can not German -
We are in other countries - is not the place! "

Human life - a ticket to the lottery,
Predictions - not worth the labor.
From Germany the Jews go
On the eve of the thirties.
From Germany, the home of a cute,
Leaving the family graves,
Leave the Jews in mourning.
Their friends - shrug.
