The Aare is a river that flows through Bern, Switzerland. It is divine to swim in. Down below his city life Down below the flower beds He takes his suit off and surrenders And busyness is shed Wassertage, Riverdays The summers nearly gone Lets go in there one last time Before the snowflakes come The Aare is strong and free I am naked and pure The river cleanses all in me We are equal, rich and poor Silver heads above the water Golden leaves upon the ground Here we play with one another Voices echo river sounds Wassertage, Riverdays Wassertage Happiness is the Aare Flowing to the sea Bearing golden leaves Bearing you and me
