Brief vom 25. Feb.1963 12.Avenue Montaigne
- mein Lieber,
Bitte seien Sie so gut und fragen genau wann und wo und was für eine Television Sendung von mir in Stockholm gezeigt wurde. Habe nähmlich nur einmal ein Lied für die "UNICEF" Wohltätigkeitsabend gesungen, das gefilmt wurde für Television in Düsseldorf. .... Ich sang ein Lied, das jetzt NO 1 in Deutschland ist, " Sag mir wo die Blumen sind" - ein Antikriegslied (eine Erfolgsplatte in Deutschland zu haben ist doch allerhand):.......nochmals tausend Grüsse MARLENE

- My dear,
Please be so good as to ask exactly when and where and what kind of television program I showed in Stockholm. I only sang a song once for the "UNICEF" charity evening, which was filmed for television in Düsseldorf. .... I sang a song that is now No. 1 in Germany, "Tell me where the flowers are" - an anti-war song (having a successful record in Germany is all sorts of things):.......a thousand greetings again MARLENE

Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind,

Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls have picked them everyone.
Oh, when will we ever learn?
Oh, when will we ever learn?

Where have all the young girls gone, long time passing?
Where have all the young girls gone, long time ago?
Where have all the young girls gone?
Gone for husbands everyone.
Oh, when will we ever learn?
Oh, when will we ever learn?

Where have all the young men gone,long time passing,
Where have all the young men gone,long time ago,
Where have all the young men gone,
They are all in uniform,
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
