Engels geboortegedicht: ‘Before you cross the street’

Vier Füße, groß bis mittelklein
gingen lange Zeit allein...
Jetzt gehen bald auf Schtitt und Tritt
zwei winzig kleine Füße mit

Our little package has finally arrived
and with open hearts received
We kept the faith and stood so strong
and with all our soul believed
Born into our life and into our heart
we sing a brand new song
The celebration song that angels sing
may the whole world sing along

Rock-a-bye-baby
Guess what we've got
A bundle of joy
We love a whole lot!

I want to keep this feeling inside
for a little more
must be daddy's pride and joy
a little baby boy
is lying in my arms here tonight
