Grobschnitt
Jupp / The Excursion of Father Smith
Spoken:
Mit mir nicht
Jupp

This is a sunny day
This is a lovely way
Leave dusty streets behind
Look nature is so kind

This is a sunny day
We'll find some place to stay
Let's leave the way behind
Let's make up our mind

Bob climbs up the trees - terrible flies
Father Smith wants to keep the coffee warm
Mother tries to keep her daughter clean
Mary cries: Mamy, can I have some ice-cream?

People running here and there and everywhere – (be aware)
Well known neighbours coming on left and right – (what a fight)
Restless dogs are chasing around the trees – (damned breed)
Searching for some bread or crumbs of chocolate – (it's so kind)

See them all coming here
Feel how they are so near
Oh what an atmosphere
Isn't it nice my dear
All fun is gone since we started on tour
Nothing has remained of the well-praised nature
To them who are struggling through woods and fields and stony ways
Everything is anger, hurry and torture – I'm sure

See the birds there in the trees
Their parents flying at the sky
They glorify - from the sky – holiday in the sky

This is a sunny day
This is a lovely way
Leave dusty streets behind
Look nature is so kind
