Where have the flowers gone?
Throughout the past --
Where have the flowers gone?
Through the whole of time --
Where have the flowers gone?
The girls have taken them.
And when will the circle end?
Alas, alas, it will never end.

|| Where have the girls gone? ||
The men have taken them.

|| Where have the men gone? ||
The armies have taken them.

|| Where have the armies gone? ||
The fields have taken them.

|| Where have the fields gone? ||
The flowers have taken them.

|| Where have the flowers gone? ||
The girls have taken them.
