Wir reisten um die Welt herum
We traveled around the world
Mit vielen Koffern schwer
With lots of heavy suitcases
Der Johnny hatte zwei bis drei
Johnny had two or three
Die Jenny hatte vier dabei
Jenny had four with her
Und ich trug auch so mancherlei
And I was carrying all sorts of things, too
Und hatte drum noch mehr
And had even more besides
Was hatten wir für Tokio in dem Gepäck dabei
What did we have in our luggage for Tokyo?
Da trug ich einen Hut aus Stroh
I wore a straw hat
Und ich trug einen Kimono
And I wore a kimono
Und ich ging damals ebenso zum Blütenfest im Mai
And back then I also went to the Cherry Blossom Festival in May
Und er ging damals ebenso zum Blütenfest im Mai
And he also went to the Cherry Blossom Festival in May
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
In Rio ging's zum Karneval maskiert und frisch gekämmt
In Rio, we went to Carnival in masks and with freshly combed hair
Da ging ich als Matrose hin
I went there dressed as a sailor
Und ich als frische Tänzerin
And I as a fresh-faced dancer
Und ich so wie ich immer bin in einem bunten Hemd
And I, just as I always am, in a colorful shirt
Und er so wie er immer ist in einem bunten Hemd
And he, just as he always is, in a colorful shirt
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Alaska hat uns auch gesehen
Alaska saw us, too
Wo mancher Braunbär brummt
Where many a brown bear growls
Dort trug ich Pelze dick und schwer
There I wore furs, thick and heavy
Und ich lief auf im Pelz umher
And I strolled about in my fur
Auch ich war, den es des fror dort sehr, im dicken Pelz vermummt
I, too—for it was very cold there—was bundled up in a thick fur coat
Auch er war, den es fror dort sehr, im dicken Pelz vermummt
He, too, bundled up in thick fur, since it was so cold there
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Wir reisten um die Welt herum
We traveled around the world
Wie zogen wir uns an
How we dressed
In warmen Zonen leicht und hell
In warm climates, light and bright
Im kalten mit dem Braunbärfell
In the cold, in brown bear fur
Der Mensch ist glücklich weil er schnell
People are happy because they can
Die Kleidung wechseln kann
Quickly change their clothes
Der Mensch ist glücklich weil er schnell
People are happy because they can
Die Kleidung wechseln kann
Quickly change their clothes
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
Ah-la-la, la-la-la-la
