In winter, when songs are gone when the teeth are white gold, We sing this song for your delight. In Spring, when woods are getting green, We'll try and tell you what we mean. this root is dying to bring the new inside your mouth, soon you´ll know! What a busy joy ! In Summer, when the days are long, Perhaps you'll understand the song. To all the words that we can say In the longest summer day. but the days are so long, so long... In Autumn, when the leaves are brown, Take pen and ink, and write it down. Just because the infant boy Has a tiny tooth to show! and no one cares for him at all because he was so small All moment in an endless one when all our songs are gone all white and all so small We sing this song for our loved ones Just because the infant boy Has a tiny tooth to show! He can say but half a word In the longest summer day...
