Only Our Rivers Run Free Songtext

Only Our Rivers Run FreeWhen apples still grow in NovemberWhen blossoms still bloom on each treeWhen leaves are still green in DecemberIt´s then that our land will be freeI´ve wandered her hills and valleysAnd still through my sorrow I seeA land that has never known freedomAnd only her rivers rnu freeI drink to the death of her manhoodThose men who´d rather have diedThan to live in the cold chains of bondageTo bring back their rights were deniedBut where are you now that we need you?What burns where the flame used to be?Are you gone like the snow of last winter?And still only our rivers run freeHow sweet is life, but we´re dyingHow mellow the wine, but we´re dryHow fragrant the rose, but it´s dyingHow gentle the wind but it sighsWhat good is in youth when it´s aging?What joys are in eyes that can´t see?When there´s sorrow in sunshine and flowersAnd still only our rivers run free
