Five in the morning, he runs around silently

Does not awaken the world and the children

Awakens for a moment, a hug and a kiss

Starts another long day at work

 

The sun in the middle of the sky is sweating

And he is already deep in work

Now and again he lifts his head

Sees the crazy world

 

A big secret, dear friend

It is all thanks to you

Today I am singing proudly

All the world is in your hand

 

Returns at night from another hard day

Tired and not always happy

Falls asleep with the children on the sofa

And gets up again before light for work

 

Again falls asleep with the children on the sofa

“Work less” his wife is offended

Smiles, embarrassed, let’s slip to her

“I have to work; it’s healthy for the soul”
