Quiet flows a small river br And a small boat floats on its silence. br Nothing goes wrong for some time- br Nothing goes wrong.... br There blooms a flower on the face of the lone sailor br As the river recedes and his boat triumphs forward, br He begins to sing a song- br A sweet song... br Nothing goes wrong for some more time- br Nothing goes wrong. br A small wind blows, br It grows into a storm next, br The song stops for at once br And the boat turns upside down. br The sea emerges br And it embraces the river. br br Nothing goes wrong.br br M.
