Life Is a Long and Silent River

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

Life is a long and silent river

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!
