The river is young, the river is wild It jumps over rocks and stones, just like a child It gurgles and it sings for joy, it splashes and it spouts It dances like a crazy shaman, it's happy without doubt And still it's looking out for new challenges to see If it's strong enough to make it right down to the sea The river has grown and the river is strong Sculpting the landscape, proudly meandering along Sometimes he shows his muscles planning treacherous attacks He's trying to conquer new land and no dyke will hold him back But finally, he understands that he can't win them all Returning to his natural bed, he wonders what's his role River, river, you're just like me From birth to death, from source to sea You're growing up and seek your way, You try to show off, and go astray But all your strength is not enough to change the world forever and for good The river is broad and the river is deep She's grown old and tired and appears to be asleep She knows this is the final stretch and she just wants her peace To think about her younger days when she was not at ease She knows that soon she'll melt into the ocean for good She's made her peace with Nature and with God, it's understood River, river, you're just like me From birth to death, from source to sea We're growing up and seek our way We try to show off, and go astray But finally, we reach our end - at last again we're free To merge into God's universe in humble harmony
