Lyrics
Tiere (translation)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Animals would never do something like that,
Thus never again call me a stupid chick.
Holy is the cow, leave her alone!
Animals are not as mean as you are.
Repeat of chorus
In the jungle, the animals,
that's where animals belong,
And not in the zoo;
There they are not happy.
They don't belong on the shoulders of your rich doll;
And frogs and bullfrogs belong not in the soup.
Repeat of chorus
No bird would build you a cage,
And force you to sing.
No pig would fatten you up
and lock you up in the slaughterhouse,
Pin you on a hook and
Tear off your skin.
Repeat of chorus
My relatives are the elephants,
And what I love to draw are whales.
Repeat chorus twice
