[Cz-L] A Habsburg dream.

In 1918, with the defeat of the Austrian and German Empires , the German
Kultur retreated 1000 km to the west.
Their place was taken by the Moldovians who have roamed
the countryside for centuries.
    Stubbornly, the Jews refused to accept this and held on to the old
Habsburg dream.
   Then came the Holocaust.
  Then came the Slavs -moving Bukowina another 1000 km to the East.
    The Jews fled taking their vanishing dream with them.
     Soon it will fade away.

Das gibt's nur einmal This happens one time,
das kommt nicht wieder. It will not come back,
Das ist zu schon Too nice
um wahr zu sein! for being true.
So wie ein Wunder fallt auf uns nieder That such miracle should happen,
vom Paradies ein gold'ner Schein! From heaven a golden ray !
