Mother [Dutch translation]

(Clock chiming)

Mother, you had me [but] I never had you

I wanted you [but] you didn't want me

So I just got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye.

Father, you left me [but] I never left you

I needed you [but] you didn't need me

So I just got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Children, don't do what I have done

I couldn't walk and I tried to run

So I just got to tell you

Goodbye, goodbye

Mama don't go

Daddy come home

[rept.]
