Translated lyrics
Once There Was a Story (Translation: Reinhard "Ron" F. Hahn) Once there was a story. The story is not at all happy. The story begins with a Jewish king. Chorus: Lullabye, my little bird! Lullabye, my child! I have lost so great a love! Woe is me and ill. The king had a queen. The queen had a vineyard. The vineyard had a tree. Lullabye, my child! The king is dead and gone now. The queen has been corrupted. The tree is broken. The birds have left their nests.
