Tiere [English translation]

Animals would never do such a thing,

therefore don't call me a stupid hen.

Holy is the cow, leave her in peace!

Animals are not as mean as you.

In the jungle, that's where the animals belong

and not in the zoo, there they aren't happy

They don't belong on the shoulders of your rich puppet

and frogs and toads don't belong in the soup

Animals would never do such a thing,

Therefore don't call me a stupid hen

Holy is the cow, leave her in peace!

Animals are not as mean as you.

A bird would never build you a cage

and force you to sing.

A pig would [never] fatten you up

and lock you up in the slaughterhouse,

hang you from a hook and rip your skin off.

Animals would never do such a thing,

Therefore don't call me a stupid hen

Holy is the cow, leave her in peace!

Animals are not as mean as you.

My relatives are the elephants

and what I like to paint are whales.

Animals would never do such a thing,

Therefore don't call me a stupid hen

Holy is the cow, leave her in peace!

Animals are not as mean as you.

Animals would never do such a thing,

Therefore don't call me a stupid hen

Holy is the cow, leave her in peace!

Animals are not as mean as you.

Animals would never do such a thing,

Therefore don't call me a stupid hen

Holy is the cow, leave her in peace!

Animals are not as mean as you.
