Und der Nachbarssohn, der Ruprecht

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.
