Vom Brummställchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Der Brummstall ist ein böser Ort,
Die Kinder sind nicht gerne dort;
Doch wollen sie nicht artig sein
Und hören gar nicht auf zu schrei'n,
So sperrt man sie ohn Gnad hinein.
Drin sitzen sie und weinen sehr:
"Mama, ich thu es niemals mehr!"
So komm heraus mein liebes Kind,
Die Thränchen wische ab geschwind!
Man weiss schon wie die Mütter sind.

The time‑out corner
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
The time-out corner is a nasty place,
The children do not like to be there;
But if they don't want to behave
And do not stop screaming,
Then one sends them there without mercy.
There they sit and weep copiously:
"Mama, I shall never do it again!"
So come on out, my dear child,
Quickly wipe away your little tears!
One knows already how mothers are.
