Hi fans,

I recently get Sad Sing (German Version), and I'd like to know several things :
- Is it true ?
- Did Mike involved in this version ?
- When did it happens ?
- Where did it happens ?
- What are the
- Does someone has good enough ears to transcribe German lyrics ? And translate it in english (my german skills tend to zero)
- Who is the guy shouting "Thank you x for ..." and what are these lyrics too ?

Ok, that's pretty much, and this may be better to post these questions in Lyrics and Language... But it's a rarity so...
Could other MOFA members ( wink) help me ?
GMOVJ
PS : thanks again Vinz ! biggrin

Cheers,
GMOVJ

Hello GMOVJ !
Well, there are a lot of questions, but I can answer you some...
Yes, it's a true release ! It's a rare special bonus track from some Tom Newman's "Faeries Symphony and other Stories (featuring Mike Oldfield)". (Am I lucky for once ?). But unfortunaltely, Mike is not involved in this version frown .
Here what it says in the booklet : "It's performed by Tom Newman with his Hiawatha friends and Barry Palmer in the background. This track is real homemade recording"
That's all I can do for you !

Well, it's pretty late to answer this question, but for all people that have the same question and land here via search engine i will try my best at transcribing and translating the lyrics.

Btw those are pretty much nonsense lyrics:

2 - 3 - 4

Oberschenkel, Unterschenkel, Nase
(upper leg, lower leg, nose)
Unterschenkel, Oberschenkel, Auge
(lower leg, upper leg, eye)
Zähne, Lippen, Zähne oben, oben
(teeth, lips, upper teeth, upper - last 2 a bit mumbly, not exactly sure if I misheard)
Lippen, Zähne oben, Zähne unten
(lips, upper teeth, inferior teeth - literally translated: lower teeth)

Oberschenkel, Unterschenkel, Nase
Unterschenkel, Oberschenkel, Auge
Zähne, Lippen, Zähne oben, oben
Lippen, Zähne oben, Zähne unten

Die Poesie des Lebens ist ein Dummkopf
(the poetry of life is a dumbhead)
Auf jeder Seit' des Blickes ist ein Schlaukopf
(on each side of view is a clever Dick - literally translated: smart head as opposed to dumb head, again this whole line is quite mumbly, so not exactly sure if i heard it right)
Auf Wiedersehen ist ein kleiner Singsang
(goodbye is a little sing-song)
Lieder schreiben ist so traurig, Ding Dong
(writing songs is so sad, ding dong)

Kleiner Willi, großer Willi, Dummkopf
(little Will, big Will, dumbhead)
Großer Willi, kleiner Willi, Schlaukopf
(big Will, little Will, clever Dick - lit.: smart head)
Dünne Finger, dicke Finger, schöne Mädchen
(thin fingers, thick fingers, lovely girls)
Dicke Finger, dünne Finger, schöne Mädchen
(thick fingers, thin fingers, lovely girls)

Die Poesie des Lebens ist ein Dummkopf
Auf jeder Seit' des Blickes ist ein Schlaukopf
Auf Wiedersehen ist ein kleiner Singsang
Lieder schreiben ist so traurig, Ding Dong

Oberschenkel, Unterschenkel, Nase
Unterschenkel, Oberschenkel, Auge
Zähne, Lippen, Zähne oben, oben
Lippen, Zähne oben, Zähne unten

Aaaaaahhhh-aahhhhhh-ahhhhhhhh
Aaaaaahhhh-aahhhhhh-ahhhhhhhh
Aaaaaahhhh-aahhhhhh-ahhhhhhhh
Aaaaaahhhh-aahhhhhh-ahhhhhhhh

Hope that helps a bit.
