English Translation

Soap Bubbles

One soap bubble flies up.
To the roof it flies,
up to the roof it flies.
Now it's burst and has vanished.

A soap bubble vanished,
No flying, it has disappeared,
Right away, after its birth,
it has burst and has vanished.

Wind, wind, please don't blow!
We want to see our bubbles fly.
