Von der Eisenbahn
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Bleibt stille stehn an der Eisenbahn, Schon braust von ferne der Zug heran, Da fallen feurige Kohlen, Es bebt mir unter den Sohlen, Ein Ungeheu'r aus der Tiefe, Ankeucht die Lokomotive; Viel Wagen thut sie schleifen, Jetzt fängt sie an zu pfeifen: Pi pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup pup.
