These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Please teacher, teach me something,
Please teacher, teach me something,
Nice teacher, teach me something.
Nice teacher, teach me something.
I'm as awkward as a camel, that's not the worst,
I'm as awkward as a camel, that's not the worst,
My two feet haven't met yet,
My two feet haven't met yet,
But I'll be teacher's pet yet,
But I'll be a teacher's pet yet,
'Cause I'm gonna learn to dance or burst.
'Cause I'm gonna learn to dance or burst.
Nothing's impossible I have found,
Nothing's impossible I have found,
For when my chin is on the ground,
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up,
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off,
Dust myself off,
Start all over again.
Start all over again.
Don't lose your confidence if you slip,
Don't lose your confidence if you slip,
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up,
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.
Start all over again.
Work like a soul inspired,
Work like a soul inspired,
Till the battle of the day is won.
Till the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son!
But you'll be a man, my son!
Will you remember the famous men,
Will you remember the famous men,
Who had to fall to rise again?
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath,
So take a deep breath,
Pick yourself up,
Pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.
Start all over again.
I'll get some self assurance
I'll get some self assurance
If your endurance is great.
If your endurance is great.
I'll learn by easy stages
I'll learn by easy stages
If you're courageous and wait.
If you're courageous and wait.
To feel the strength I want to,
To feel the strength I want to,
I must hang on to your hand,
I must hang on to your hand,
Maybe by the time I'm fifty
Maybe by the time I'm fifty
I'll get up and do a nifty.
I'll get up and do a nifty.
Nothing's impossible I have found,
Nothing's impossible I have found,
For when my chin is on the ground,
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up,
I pick myself up,
Dust myself off,
Dust myself off,
Start all over again.
Start all over again.
Don't lose your confidence if you slip,
Don't lose your confidence if you slip,
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up,
And pick yourself up,
Dust yourself off,
Dust yourself off,
Start all over again.
Start all over again.
Work like a soul inspired,

You may be sick and tired,
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son!
But you'll be a man, my son!
Will you remember the famous men,
Will you remember the famous men,
Who had to fall to rise again?

So take a deep breath,
