Die beiden Flaschen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Zwei Flaschen stehn auf einer Bank,
die eine dick, die andre schlank.
Sie möchten gerne heiraten.
Doch wer soll ihnen beiraten?
Mit ihrem Doppel-Auge leiden
sie auf zum blauen Firmament . . .
Doch niemand kommt herabgerennt
und kopuliert die beiden.

Les deux bouteilles
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Deux bouteilles se tiennent sur un banc,
l'une grosse, l'autre maigre.
Elles voudraient bien se marier.
Mais qui pourrait les marier ?
Elles lèvent aux firmament bleu
leurs doubles yeux souffrants ...
Mais personne ne descend en courant
Et toutes deux copulent.
