Kleine Jongen [English translation]

[My] little boy,

You're on this world so you'll have to fight like me

I can know it

Life isn't always easy,

There are obstacles at every moment.

[My] little boy,

There are many good people,

But bad ones exist too, it's a pity it's true

But you have to think;

That soon you'll realise

That honesty wins from lies

Refrain

This life goes so fast

There is so little time, so life, you're free

But be wise and make the people happy

Then you'll be truly happy

Because life's so short

Many things will change once you get older

You still play with LEGO, but that'll soon change!

It's a pity, but you won't stay small

[My] little boy,

At school you'll notice it's all about grades and power

It's life

So learn what you have to

And then you'll be the one who has the last laugh

[My] little boy,

And once you're grown

Then maybe your father isn't anymore

Then tell your children this story from your old man

Refrain
