Faul sein ist wunderschön [English translation]

Lazing about is wonderful

For the chores are yet to be done

When the sun is out and the flowers bloom

The world at large is so wonderful

Lazing about is wonderful

Dear mother, believe me

Upon return I shall work with diligence

I promise you !

Tra-la-la-la-la-la

Mother is baking cake

Which tastes great to the sluggard

Just as to the hard working

Lazing about is wonderful

Wether with or without money

If you don't believe it, then go to school

We journey into the world

Tra-la-la-la-la-la

Mother is baking cake

Which tastes great to the sluggard

Just as to the hard working

Lazing about is wonderful

Much more so than diligence

The air is blue the forest green

Little uncle is white (1)
