Geburtstagsliedchen für die Grossmama
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Vivat liebe Grossmama!
Rufen alle Kinder:
Iss und trink in diesem Jahr
Wie ein Bürstenbinder.
Zum Geburtstag bringen wir
Einen schönen Kuchen dir.
Auch viel Blumensträusschen siehst du hier.
Süsser Wein und Zuckerguts
Mildert alle Leiden,
Darum sollst du Grossmama!
Freuen dich an beiden.

Birthday song for Grandmama
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Vivat dear Grandmama!
All the children shout:
In this coming year may you eat like a horse
And drink like a fish.
For your birthday we bring
You a beautiful cake.
And you also see here many bouquets of flowers.
Sweet wine and candy
Alleviate all suffering,
Thus, Grandmama, you shall
Rejoice in both of them.
