Geburtstagsliedchen für den Vater
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Es läuten die Glocken bam bimmel bumbum,
Es schiessen Kanonen pupuh, und warum?
Dem lieben Papa sein Geburtstag ist heut,
Und darum erschallt so muntres Geläut.
Wir waren des Tages schon lange gedenk,
Und bringen dir Blumen und manches Geschenk:
Dafür gieb ein Küsschen, du Herzenspapa
Den Kinderchen allen, und auch der Mama.

Birthday song for Father
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
The bells are pealing ding dingle dong dong,
The cannons are firing boom-boom, and why?
It is dear Papa's birthday today,
And that is why there is such merry pealing.
We had long been thinking of this day,
And we bring you flowers and many a present:
In exchange you must give us a kiss, you dear Papa --
All of us children and also Mama.
