Die kleine Spinne English translation
von Hurra Kinderlieder

Between two slats of the garden fence
The little spider wants to build her web
Her fine thread is endlessly long
She thinks for a moment and then starts

She hops back and forth, spinning crosswise and diagonal
With her eight little legs, it’s not too hard
A few more rounds in a circle
Then comes a fat bumblebee with a loud buzz
(Bzzzzz!) The little spider calls

Oh no! Oh no!
It’s way too big! My web is too thin
What should I do now?
Bumblebee, fat bumblebee, please fly away
But it’s too late, her web is torn


Between two slats of the garden fence
The little spider has to build a new web
Her fine thread is endlessly long
She doesn’t think about it, just starts right away
She hops back and forth, spinning crosswise and diagonal
With her eight little legs, it’s not too hard
A few more rounds in a circle
Then comes a butterfly, so cheerful and colorful
The little spider calls

Oh no! Oh no! He’s too beautiful
He doesn’t want to eat you, can you understand?
Butterfly! Hello! I wave and shout
At the last moment, he flies past the web. Phew!

Between two slats of the garden fence
The little spider today chews gum
Mmm, with a fly flavor!
