Balāde II

Pa zilo Donavu peld līķisKas zin vai serbs, vai turks, vai krievsViņš vairāk nerunās, viņš klusēsUn klusēs arī augšā DievsUn nepaskaidros kā labadŠis gadsimts muļķīgs padevies

Bet upes malā daiļa meičaBez mitas nebeidz as'ras lietUz pārdzīvo, ka savam mīļamTā nevarēja līdzi ietUn savas kvēlās asinisPar godu ķeizarnamam liet

Bet klusēs DievsUn rūgti bārdā smaidīsJo nevarēs tam izskaidrot neviensKādēļ šo dzimumuViņš zemesvirsū laidis

Arvienu skaļāk kanonādeKā dusmīgs vīru koris dunUn veči šauj un veči lādēUn tuvcīņās viens otram durBet kara tiesas priekšā stājasTie nīkuļi, kas neiztur

Cik skaisti izritinās zarnasCik skaisti pāršķīst galvaskaussKad visi veselie kļūs kropļiTad visie kropļiem kauties ļausUn pašās beigās Al-le-lu-jaUz kaulu zāģa spēlēs Štrauss

Bet klusēs DievsUn rūgti bārdā smaidīsJo nevarēs tam izskaidrot neviensKādēļ šo dzimumuViņš zemesvirsū laidis

Bet klusēs DievsUn rūgti bārdā smaidīsJo nevarēs tam izskaidrot neviensKādēļ šo dzimumuViņš zemesvirsū laidisBet klusēs DievsUn rūgti bārdā smaidīsJo nevarēs tam izskaidrot neviensKādēļ šo dzimumuViņš zemesvirsū laidis

Ballad 2

A corpse floats along the blue DonauWho knows whether it's Serbian, Turkish or RussianHe will talk no more, he will be quietAnd Up above God will also be quietAnd will not explain for what reasonThis century has become so foolish

But by the side of the river a beautiful girlSobs without pauseAnd mourns that she is unableTo follow her loverAnd to spill her fiery bloodFor the honour of the house of the Kaiser

But God will be quietand will bitterly smileBecause no one will be able to explainWhy He placed this raceOn Earth

The canons grow louder,Their noise like an angry men's choirAnd men fire and men refill their gunsAnd in duels stab each otherBut in front of the court of law stand thoseWho were not brave enough to endure

How beautifully the intestine unwindsHow beautifully a skull breaksWhen all the healthy people become cripplesThen all the cripples will be allowed to fightAnd in the end HallelujahStrauss will play a bone saw

But God will be quietand will bitterly smileBecause no one will be able to explainWhy He placed this raceOn Earth

But God will be quietand will bitterly smileBecause no one will be able to explainWhy He placed this raceOn EarthBut God will be quietand will bitterly smileBecause no one will be able to explainWhy He placed this raceOn Earth
