Pete-Seeger-1

Pete Seeger (May 3, 1919 – January 27, 2014)

Pete Seeger, who died in January 2014 at the age of 94, wrote this song, and the following is his story of how the song came to be:

“I had been reading a long novel—”And Quiet Flows the Don”—about the Don River in Russia and the Cossacks who lived along it in the 19th century. It describes the Cossack soldiers galloping off to join the Czar’s army, singing as they go. Three lines from a song are quoted in the book: ‘Where are the flowers?

बचाने जाता है उसकी जान,

लेकिन एक पेड़ को इंसान

फल देता रहता है वह उसे

मरते दम तक…

A scorpion writhing in water 

stings when a human 

tries to save its life, 

but a tree,

no matter how much harm 

a human inflicts upon it, 

continues to bear fruits

until its last breath…
