Hänschenklein 1995/Siebenundneunzig [English translation]

Hänschenklein* went alone

out into the world

Hänschen was looking for the luck**

He never came back

Hänschen was full of confidence

didn't believe into the bad

stopped a pretty car

Now Hänschen was screwed

He was screwed

They pricked out his eyes

they tore him the throat out

Cut of his boys

had thrown him into a grave

had thrown him in his grave

But his mother cried hard

Didn't have a Hänschen anymore

But his mother cried loud

Who stole my sun

But his mother cried hard

Being alone isn't easy for her

Yeah she goes completely insane

runs as if remote-controlled out of the house

Hänschenklein lies alone

between bush and stone

as his mother found him

she didn't recognize him immediatly

*die Silbe -chen wird im deutschen immer dann angehängt, wenn man etwas verkleiner will:

"der Tisch - the table; das Tischchen - the little table"

Nowadays one would say "klein Hänschen" but like in the old song it's the other way around "Hänschen klein"

Klein - small

**fortune/happiness/luck - Glück
