Owl Me Tender
I'm lying in the attic at home,
I'm bored desperately, God knows why.
Suddenly from behind me comes the tender chirping of an owl "Oui-Oui"
and my heart cheers up, A-lai-lai-lai, it cheers up.
I'm walking on the road to meet my robber friend,
I feel all alone in this unfamiliar place.
Suddenly from behind me comes the tender chirping of an owl "Oui-Oui"
and my heart cheers up, A-lai-lai-lai, it cheers up.
I am hanging on a rope, swinging and kicking,
I really would like a little more air.
Suddenly from behind me comes the tender chirping of an owl "Oui-Oui"
and my heart cheers up, A-lai-lai-lai, it cheers up.
I'm in a cauldron being boiled by the devil for his banquet,
"Crying is useless now" pops into in my head.
Suddenly from behind me comes the tender chirping of an owl "Oui-Oui"
and my heart cheers up, A-lai-lai-lai, it cheers up.
I'm lying in the attic at home,
I'm bored desperately, God knows why.
Suddenly from behind me comes the tender chirping of an owl "Oui-Oui"
Let's sing together, e-la-la-lai La-lai la lai-lai-lai, I say to the owl.
