...Listening to Marlene Dietrich on YouTube sing "Sag Mir Wo Die Blumen Sind" from 1963. I'm not going to tell you what the song is, you'll just have to go there & find out. You'll know it immediately, though...& I'll wager a lot of you will be sobbing, too...Prolly the most powerful version of a devastatingly powerful song I've ever heard...-Sandy G.

"Say to me where the flowers are" would be a pretty literal translation of the title.

The German version of "Where Have all the Flowers Gone", and yes, Marlene's version (with the gently shuffling beat behind it on her 'Greatest Hits' disc) is extremely moving.
She was a torch singer if there ever was one, and proof that musical emotion doesn't need translated lyrics.

Best,
C.
