Engels geboortegedicht: ‘Double the nappies’

She sleeps through almost every sound
even when it's screaming loud and clear
but she wakes up and smiles at a friendly voice
if it whispers softly in her ears

They say that it was raining
on the day you were born
but it was heaven crying
because it has just lost his most
beautiful angel

If you're feeling light and gay
With your baby in the hay
Toss him in the air and say
Hapsy dar doodle, hoy, hupser kay

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
