Translated lyrics
1. Would you like a flock of sheep? I've got one Would you like a bird, God's wonder? I've got one My flock of sheep is my wife and my children They are God's wonder Refrain Of course, he wouldn't like it Let him envy me Ele, Bele You live in misery, you've got nothing - and I have everything Ele, bele You'll burst with envy, and I'll be singing songs Ele, bele 2. Would you like millions? I've got them Would you like gramophones? I've got them Each child of mine is worth millions, And they play music better than gramophones 3. Would you like a string of pearls? I've got one Would you like a diamond? I've got one My elder daughter-in-law is called Pearl and her Berl is the diamond of a husband
