Mosel River keeps on flowing
In its own steady way.
I watch it for a while
Nearly every here day.
The vines stand in rows
Reaching down the hill,
A regiment of greenery
Parade ground still.
Herr Dernst sits in Mesenich,
The centre of his clan;
Each year I pay respects
To this well respected man.
Monica's laughter flows around,
A dear friend always there
In this place we all love
This very special somewhere.
Franz makes me welcome,
A companion as well as friend.
Together we've talked to
Many a wine bottle's end.
Jacqueline is in America
Happily married to her John,
But I still see her in my mind
So she's not really gone.
Marcel is near full grown;
Christian a young man now;
The years have flown away,
I don't know where or how.
The breeze down the valley
Makes me feel a little colder.
I know where those years have gone.
I've grown just that much older.
I watch it for a while
Nearly every here day;
Mosel River keeps on flowing
In its own steady way.
