Schade Marmelade English translation
von Hurra Kinderlieder

Frida jumps with a running start into a puddle
Suddenly she looks strange and starts to scream

What a pity, marmalade, that went wrong
The boots had holes, the puddle was too deep
Now Frida has wet feet, and Karlchen is laughing hard
What a pity, marmalade, that didn’t work out well

Karlchen is very thirsty, grabs a cup, drinks it all
Suddenly, only bubbles come out of his mouth


What a pity, marmalade, that was unfortunate
They were soap bubbles, they didn’t taste good
Now Karlchen is spitting colorful bubbles, and Frida is laughing hard
What a pity, marmalade, that didn’t work out well

Papa shows how great he is at climbing the ladder
But on the highest rung, he starts to wobble

What a pity, marmalade, that was nonsense
Papa fell into the flower bed and is covered in mud
Now he has to go into the bathtub, and Mama is laughing hard
What a pity, marmalade, that didn’t work out well
What a pity, marmalade, that didn’t work out well
