Over the Danube I was standing
Over the Danube I was standing
I was brushing my light brown hair
The light brown hair I was brushing
The light brown hair I was brushing
I was throwing the hair into the peaceful Danube
Float my plaits, float
Float my plaits, float
Don't take much moisture
Don't take much moisture
Don't take much moisture
Don't make my mom cry.
For the only one1she has,
For the only me she has,
Yet she gives away even me
Over the Danube I was standing
Over the Danube I was standing
I was brushing my light brown hair
