Kümmelchenlied [English translation]

And no one should say that whoever drinks is bad,

Because the grapevine grows specially for all those who drink,

And one man drinks champagne, which heaven has granted him,

And the other all the little liqueurs that he finds on the earth

And the other all the little liqueurs that he finds on the earth

And no one should say that whoever eats is bad,

Because wheat grows especially for all those who eat,

And one man eats cakes, which heaven has granted him,

And the other all the little crumbs that he finds on the earth

And the other all the little crumbs that he finds on the earth

And no one should say that whoever smokes is bad,

Because tabacco grows specially for all those who smoke,

And one man smokes Havanna, which heaven has granted him,

And the other all the little stubs that he finds on the earth

And the other all the little stubs that he finds on the earth

And no one should say that whoever loves is bad,

Because life blooms especially for all those who love,

And one man loves the only one, which heaven has granted him,

And the other all the little louts that he finds on the earth

And the other all the little louts that he finds on the earth
