Berlin Will Come Back

#index/13#index/13: "Berlin Kommt Wieder (Berlin Will Come Back), it was spreading quickly from lip to lip. It wasn't the words themselves that made a Russian call the song 'very dangerous,' it was the way the people sang them: Who would have thought it of us? / Yes it will rise again. / Certainly it won't come overnight, / But just after the dark of the night / The sun laughs again, / So will the lindens bloom along Unter den Linden. / Berlin remains forever Berlin.'"

Lyrics to a defiant post-WWII Berlin song...
