Tulipan [English translation]

In the May sky, round like a Dutch cheese,1

rises the travelling moon, and his beam gives us this landscape.

What a mirage! What a dream! What a dream!

The windmill is sleeping under the silver moon.

The little Dutchman is sleeping in his little bed.

Everything is lying down, everything is silent.

So quiet! So quiet!

You can hear the flowers speaking among themselves.

They are talking among themselves, the tuli-, tuli-, tuli-, tulips.

They are whispering among themselves, the tuli-, tuli-, tuli-, tulips.

You can hear the delightful chant in the softy charm.

They are talking about love, the tuli-, tuli-, tuli-, tulips.

All my dreams will reach your heart, sweetly.

And they will tell you about me, the wonderful tuli-, tuli-, tuli-, tuli-, tuli-, tulips.

They are talking among themselves, the tuli-, tuli-, tuli-, tulips.

They are whispering in chorus, the tuli-, tuli-, tuli-, tulips.

Today you speak with the sound coming from a heart full of longing,

in the enchantment of your dreams.

Oh, tender love!

The moon, from up there, from the blue dome, is peeking down.

Listening to this song, its big white face gets confused,

and it seems to it - what a strange thing - to be listening to the Lescano’s

singing about the tuli-, tuli-, tulips, tuli-, tuli-, tulips.

While singing this song, the three Lescano’s will hold out three tuli- tulips to us!
