Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT ENG FRE
Und der Nachbarssohn, der Ruprecht,
Wie oft der des Tages kam;
Denn wir spielten ja im dunklen Hausflur
Immer Braut und Bräutigam.
Und der grüne Puppenwagen,
Der war unser grösstes Glück:
Unsre Kinder schliefen drinne,
Unsre Kinder, meine Puppen - dreizehn Stück.

And the neighbor's son, Ruprecht
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
And the neighbor's son, Ruprecht,
How often he would come during the day;
For we used to play in the dark hallway,
Always bride and groom.
And the green stroller,
That was our greatest joy:
Our children slept in it,
Our children, my dolls -- thirteen in number.
