Ein Mann, der sich Kolumbus nannt English translation
von Simone Sommerland, Karsten Glück und die Kita-Frösche

A man who called himself Columbus,
Widewidewitt bum bum,
Was well known in shipping,
Widewidewitt bum bum.
The worries weighed heavily on him,
He was looking for new land and sea.

When he drank the morning coffee,
Then he shouted cheerfully, "Thank God!"
For quickly came with the first tram
The Spanish king with him.

"Columbus," he said, "dear man,
You've done many a deed!
One thing is still missing from our Gloria:
Discover America to me!"

That same day, he went on.
And one morning he cried, "Land!
How all is so familiar to me!

The people of the land stood silent and hesitant,
Then Columbus says: "Good day!
Is America here, perhaps?"
All the people yelled: "Yes!"

And all yelled, "We've been discovered!"
The chief shouted immediately: "Dear man,
Then you'll be Columbus!"
