Tyrions Lied [English translation]

Tabaluga, listen to me

today you are still small

But faster than you think

you will be grown up

You are not born as a lamb

and not as a butterfly

So that you will never forget this

I'm giving this ring to you *

Enjoy every day of your childhood

But when the ring shatters

then (you must) prepare yourself

Enjoy every day, every moment

Because into your children's world

No way goes back

Tabaluga, listen to me

those, who don't know their power

Will play with fire

until they burn themselves **

Look (at) the eagle, that sits up there on the rock

It will not risk a fight as long as the ring is protecting you

Enjoy every day of your childhood

But when the ring shatters

then (you must) prepare yourself

Enjoy every day, every moment

Because into your children's world

No way goes back

Enjoy every day of your childhood

But when the ring shatters

then (you must) prepare yourself

Enjoy every day, every moment

Because into your children's world

No way goes back
