Karl der Käfer English translation
von Gänsehaut

1) Deep in the forest among moss and fern
There once lived a beetle, his name was Karl
His life was suddenly disrupted
When he heard a dull rumble
Noisy machines rolling across the forest
Soon drowning out the song of the birds
People are cutting down by a sharp axe
One tree after the other
Thus ruining it's biotope

2) Karl, the beetle wasn't asked
They had just chased him away
Karl, the beetle wasn't asked
They had just chased him away


3) A lane of asphalt is spreading out
Demanding mother nature to retreat
A flower still growing at the wayside
Was just covered by asphalt

4) Karl isn' there anymore since a long time
There isn't space anylonger for animals
Where Karl once was at home
There are now running on the roads
Beetles made of sheet metal and steel

4) Karl, the beetle wasn't asked
They had just chased him away
Karl, the beetle wasn't asked
They had just chased him away
