Lyrics - German
(German folk song)
Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum!
Ei, wir tun dir nichts zu leide,
Flieg nur aus in Wald und Heide!
Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum!
Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum!
Such in Blumen, such in Blümchen
Dir ein Tröpfchen, dir ein Krümchen!
Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum!
Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum!
Kehre heim mit reicher Habe,
Bau uns manche volle Wabe!
Summ, summ, summ! Bienchen summ herum!
English Translation – Buzz Buzz Buzz
Buzz, buzz, buzz! Bees are buzzing around!
We do not harm you
Just fly out into forest and heather!
Buzz, buzz, buzz! Bees are buzzing around!
Buzz, buzz, buzz! Bees are buzzing around!
Search in flowers, search in flowers
You a drop, you a crumb!
Buzz, buzz, buzz! Bees are buzzing around!
Buzz, buzz, buzz! Bees are buzzing around!
Return home with riches
Build some full honeycombs for us!
Buzz, buzz, buzz! Bees are buzzing around!
