I Love My Simmi
Translation of the German description, including its shortened chorus markers.
Two friends want to go to the lake together. Grandpa and Paul help them find room on the Simmi.
(Intro – Chorus)
I love my Simmi
I love my Simmi
It rattles loudly
You can hardly believe it
I love my Simmi
(Verse 1)
My greatest treasure stands in the shed,
right beside Grandpa’s spade.
I polish the chrome and make room for it,
I can hardly wait each morning.
My friend calls, “I want to come along!
We could whizz down to the lake!”
But this saddle is too small,
there is only room for one.
(Chorus)
I love my Simmi
I love my Simmi
It rattles loudly
You can hardly believe it
I love my Simmi
(2x)
(Verse 2)
My friend stays by the garden fence,
I see him quietly sulking.
Being alone is only half as nice
when two want to head out together.
I ask Grandpa, “Have you any advice?
You know how to fix things!”
He winks, “What we need today
is sometimes between the boxes.”
(Chorus)
I love my Simmi
...
(Verse 3)
“I still know Paul from the village,
the mechanic with the cap.
He keeps the old parts,
they will come in handy again!”
Then Grandpa cycles over to Paul,
the plan has been decided.
Paul shows him a seat for two:
“It fits just perfectly!”
(Chorus)
I love my Simmi
...
(Verse 4)
My friend comes through the garden gate:
“Is that for us? For both of us?”
I nod and push the Simmi forward,
he jumps for joy.
Our helmets are on, he climbs aboard,
the sunglasses are in place.
Up the little hill towards the lake,
the Simmi whizzes along with us.
(Chorus & Finale)
I love my Simmi
I love my Simmi
It rattles loudly
You can hardly believe it
I love my Simmi
I love my Simmi,
its putt-putt is music!
I love my Simmi,
it brings happiness along.
Over hills, around the world,
where the wind tells stories!
Sing-along tips
- Speak the short chorus together before singing it.
- Make quiet putt-putt sounds while staying seated.
- Use a different gesture for Grandpa, Paul and each friend.
