addressed to my cat Tiger
The sound sample is my performance
The lyrics (with my English paraphrase) are as follows
Schön getigerte Katze mein
Liebst es auf der Matratz' zu sein
Beautifully striped pussy cat
you love to lie on the mattress
und schnurrst im Schlafen,
nimmst des Grafen
oder des Fürsten Luxus ein
You purr as you sleep
and take up the life of
a count or a prince
Dein Leben ist gar nicht
hundsgemein
Yours is no dog's life
weil du gut weisst
des Menschen Geist
einzunehmen und nimmst ihn ein.
Beacuse you know how to win
humans over, and you do.
Darum ist dir das Leben fein
That's why your life is fine
Willst du des Finken Blut
nur trinken
If you just want to drink
a finch's blood
so wachst du aus dem Schlafen auf
siehst du ihn und springst darauf
you awake from your sleep
and pounce on him
Frisst und jetzt satt
hast keine Beschwerden
You eat and you are full
no complaints to make
Ja die Sache ging,
meinst du, ganz glatt.
Yes, that went very well
you think to yourself
Jetzt willst du von
uns gefüttert werden!
Now you want us to feed you!
Schön getigerte Katze mein
Liebst es auf der Matratz' zu sein
Beautifully striped pussy cat
you love to lie on the matress
und schnurrst im Schlafen,
nimmst des Grafen
oder des Fürsten Luxus ein
You purr as you sleep
and take up the life of
a count or a prince.
