Criticism of the "Donaulied": This is the lyrics
I once walked along the banks of the Danube, Ohohoholalala, A sleeping girl on the bank I found, Ohohoholalala, A sleeping girl on the bank I found.
2. Her legs were stretched far from her, ohohoholalala, her snow-white breast was only half covered, ohohoholalala, her snow-white breast was half-covered.
3. I started to sleep, ohohoholalala, you no longer heard the roar of the Danube, ohohoholalala, you no longer heard the roar of the Danube.
4. You chunky boy what did you do, ohohoholalala, you made me a mother in your sleep, ohohoholalala, you made me a mother in your sleep.
5. Now I have 12 children and yet no husband, Ohohoholalala, What do I start with the 13th, Ohohoholalala, What do I start with the 13th?
6. My girl, my girl, what are you upset about, ohohoholalala, for me it was nice and for you too, ohohoholalala, for me it was nice and for you too.
7. Here you have a light and go home, ohohoholalala, and wash out the frills with curd soap, ohohoholalala, and wash out the frills with curd soap.
8. I stood on the bridge and waved my hat, Ohohoholalala, Ade, young maid, yes the number was good, Ohohoholalala, Ade, young maid, yes the number was good.
9. And the moral of the story, ohohoholalala, sleeping girls, you don't screw them, ohohoholalala, sleeping girls, you don't screw them.
