Wenn die Buben Steckenpferd reiten

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Wir reiten über Stock und Dorn
Und reiten kühnen Ritt,
Wer Stiefel hat und Klappersporn,
Der reit' den Ritt nur mit.
Hopp, hopp!
Hopp, hopp!
Hopp, hopp, hopp, hopp, hopp, hopp!

Wir reiten über Stock und Dorn
Und reiten scharfen Trab,
Und wer am Stiefel keinen Sporn,
Den wirft das Pferdchen ab.
Plumps, plumps!
Plumps, plumps!
Plumps, plumps, plumps, plumps, plumps, plumps!

Wir reiten über Stock und Dorn
Und reiten kühnen Ritt,
Wer Stiefel hat und Klappersporn,
Der reit' den Ritt nur mit.
Hopp, hopp!
Plumps, plumps!
Hopp, hopp, plumps, plumps, hopp!!

When the boys ride their hobby horses

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

We ride over sticks and thorns
And ride a bold ride,
Whoever has boots and rattling spurs,
May ride along with us.
Hop, hop!
Hop, hop!
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop!

We ride over sticks and thorns
And ride at a sharp trot,
And whoever has no spur upon his boot,
Shall be thrown by the horse.
Bump, bump!
Bump, bump!
Bump, bump, bump, bump, bump, bump!

We ride over sticks and thorns
And ride a bold ride,
Whoever has boots and rattling spurs,
May ride along with us.
Hop, hop!
Bump, bump!
Hop, hop, bump, bump, hop!!
