Ziegen Song

A mountain witch cursed me
reluctantly I think about it
so instead of speaking
I can only sing the text
but other people feel
disturbed by the singing
that's why I live here, where no one hears me anymore
So I live in the mountains here - for a long time
and when an emergency comes,
I am ready

I have corkscrew horns
have a horn key rack
and how can I see far
if I didn't have a horn antenna
I wear can opener horns
and my hair for the black dress,
I have horns for the horns
whatever comes I am ready

Be ready, be ready,
otherwise you won't get very far
Then you'll regret it later,
so be ready
be ready be ready,
be clever and smart
so you are immune to any test

Here comes an avalanche and I don't feel ready
panic and discomfort spread within me
I wouldn't sing now but scream if they let me,
but I can't roar, so I'll yodel like crazy
