In my nice clothes,

I am bored next to Mama --


on train platform 2.


In mooie klerenIn schicken Kleidern
verveel ik me naast mama --langweile ich mich neben --

op treinperron 2.Mama auf Gleis 2.

Zywa Looking at the dog

I get too fat
I can't go anywhere
The grass is too high

Not for Collie
She feels at home here
For me it's a fairy tale

of Grimm, the forest is dark
it makes sounds all night
and it pushes against the house

which is not as beautiful as it seems
with the luxury glass, the frills
and the canopy above the door

It's hard working all day
In the evening we look at the dog's
running, until bedtime

My wishes came true;

now I feel very listless --


I just mess around.


Ik kreeg wat ik wou;Mein Wunsch wurde wahr;
nu heb ik nergens zin in --was sollte ich jetzt machen? --

ik rommel maar wat.ich spiele herum.
