Ich machte
Language: German (Deutsch)
Vom hohen Berge hernieder
Flog eine Amnestie.
Die spreizte ihr Gefieder,
Sang patriotische Lieder
Und tat, ich weiß nicht wie.
Auch ich in meinem Winkel
Vernahm die süße Melodie
Ich machte Pinkel-Pinkel
Und hinunter Pipi.

Down from high peaks she springs
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Down from high peaks she springs,
Flies down bright amnesty.
She spreads protective wings,
Patriotic songs she sings
And does this all, how can it be?
From my corner awkwardly,
Hearing such sweet melodies,
I had to make pee-pee
Without once asking "please?"
