[Music: Roderer/Klasen]
[Lyrics: Krull]
Ten more summers pleased the land
Ten more winters numbed the landscape
Time is running quickly
But in my brain a terrible dream never ends
I try to escape from my past
I’m damned to suffer a whole life!
Life is a long and silent river
She grows up – shy, alone and sad
Other kids – kept away from her
Her mother – was divorced long ago
No more love – only alcohol
Life is a long and silent river
No real friends – for the little girl
Nobody understands – what’s wrong with her
Her classmates – cheat her all the time
The silent girl – is discriminated against
[Lead: Scharf]
Life is a long and silent river
[Lead: Roderer]
People are shouting at me
“You stupid girl!
How strange you are – never spoke!”
I try to escape from my past
I’m damned to suffer a whole life!
[Lead: Roderer]
