Lyrics (translation)

Under the hat

Once upon a time, my mother
chased me through the village for my horseplay,
and because the neighbour complained,
that I was picking his apples

chor: just try to catch me, mom, 
but remember
that I will always be able to hide
under the hat

Once upon a time, my bearded father 
used to chase me across the fields,
because the horses had to be watered and
the wood behind the shed had to be chopped

chor: just try to catch me, dad,
but remember
that I will always be able to hide
under the hat

Once upon a time, the gendarmes 
used to chase me over the hill 
because I was out having fun at night
and was kissing the mayor's daughter

chor: just hunt me you, poor devils,
but be careful
because I will always be able to hide
under the hat

If I could fly like a bird
I could sing to my heart's content
I wouldn't have to run so much
or hide under my hat
