 Play, play dear children
- Play, play dear children
- spring is about to begin
- oh, dear children
- how jealous I am of you!
- Play, play dear children,
- so long as you are young
- because from spring to winter
- is the jump of a cat.
- Play, dear children,
- don't waste a minute,
- let me join in your game,
- will you grant me this happiness?
- Don't look at my grey head,
- does that bother your game?
- my soul is still young,
- the way it was many years ago.
- My soul is still young,
- and is filled with longing
- oh, how gladly it would
- leave this old body!
