Sunny afternoon on the riverside
children playing games of seek-and-hide
They throw the colored ball and they hide away

But the devil stopped their harmless play.
Little Tommy try to catch the ball

Tumbeled into the water and he lost control

But Mary's little hand couldn't save the boy.
Pain is
when you loose a friend and then she cried:
Tell me
little river
tell me when a love has gone.
For him I wait forever
till the morning he will return.
Tell me
little river
why don't you give him back?
Send him this little flower
as long as I live he can't be dead.
Little children playing on the shore
they don't talk about it anymore

What had happened on that warm September day

Sometimes in the wind you hear a prayer.
Tell me
little river
tell me when a love has gone
Tell me
little river
tell me when a love has gone
Tell me
little river
tell me when a love has gone.
