Lyrics of the song

Tell me, where are the flowers? Where did they disappear?

Tell me, where are the flowers? And what happened?

Tell me, where are the flowers? Their girls tore off.

When will you finally understand? When will they finally understand?

Tell me, where are these girls? Where did they go?

Tell me, where are these girls? And what happened?

Tell me, where are these girls? Their boys took away.

When will you finally understand? When will they finally understand?

Tell me, where are these boys? Where did they go?

Tell me, where are these boys? And what happened?

Tell me, where are these boys? They went to the soldiers.

When will you finally understand? When will they all finally understand?

Tell me, where are the soldiers? Where did they go?

Tell me, where are the soldiers? And what happened?

Tell me, where are the soldiers? They lay down in the graves.

When will you finally understand? When will they finally understand?

Tell me, where are all the graves?

Tell me, where are the graves? What happened?

Tell me, where are the graves? They were hidden flowers.

When will you finally understand? When will they finally understand?

Tell me, where are the flowers? Where did they disappear?

Tell me, where are the flowers? And what happened?

Tell me, where are the flowers? Their girls tore off.

When will you finally understand? When will they finally understand?
