Don't Try To Catch A River - Aphrodite's Child

When she flows

(Don't try to catch a river)

No one will ever catch her

When love goes

(Don't try to catch your lover)

For love is a kind of river

River flows over rocks and walls

And I’d like to know why

She seems to be far away from the sky

When she flows

(Don't try to catch a river)

No one will ever catch her

When love goes

(Don't try to catch your lover)

For love is a kind of river

Lovers leave their girls at sunrise

And I’d like to know why

They seem to be so ashamed of the size

Don’t you try

Don’t you try

Don’t you try

Don’t you try

River

River

River

When she flows

(Don't try to catch a river)

No one will ever catch her

When love goes

(Don't try to catch your lover)

For love is a kind of river

River carries along dead leaves

And I’d like to know why

Why don’t lovers bring along wounded hearts

River

River

River…
