Kinder – Sind so kleine Hände English translation
von Bettina Wegner

Are such tiny hands
With tiny fingers on them
Don't you ever beat them
They might break apart

Are such tiny feet
With so tiny toes
Don't you ever step on them
They might not be able to walk

Are such tiny ears
That hear so excellent
Don't you ever shout at them
They might become deaf


Are such beautiful mouths
Speaking out everything
Don't you ever forbid
They might not speak anymore

Are such clear eyes
That still can see everything
Don't you blindfold them
They couldn't comprehend

Are so little souls
Frank and completely free
Don't you ever trouble them
They might get harmed

Is such a little spine
That you can hardly see it
Don't you ever bend it
Because it might break


Upright, clear humans
That would be a beautiful aim
We already have
Too many spineless people
