Der Wind, der Wind, das himmlische Kind

# "Nibbler, nibbler, little house,
Who’s nibbling at my house?"
The kids replied:
"The wind, the wind,
The heavenly child."
#
Chorus
# Whoosh! Whoosh! I am the wind!
Whoosh! Whoosh! The heavenly child.

Verses:
# I come from far away,
with clouds as my escort.
I tug at your jackets
and make the branches crack.
And when I get mad,
I’ll snatch your hat.
# I come from far away,
with clouds as my escort.
You can’t see me,
but I can blow around the biggest tree!
# I come from so far,
from the mountains and across the sea.
I’m always on the move
and I pass the time in my own way.
# I sweep through streets and alleys,
no one can catch me.
I make a huge racket!
You can hear how I laugh.
# The trash cans go "Crash!",
I just knock them over,
and Mrs. Applebaum’s laundry,
I blow over the garden fence.
# That was fun, but now I have to go.
I’ll say to you "See you later!".
