Little bird, you sing quite early
Isn't the night long enough?
No, the night is always far too short
Because it's almost four o'clock
Around four in the morning
Because then it really becomes fun
Things got out of hand again yesterday
As always, it was wonderfully unexpected
We would just buy a sip
But that turned into an all-nighter
And at dawn that whole crazy bunch was standing there
From basses and tenors to singing loudly on the sidewalk
A cop passed by, and you know, you know, you know what he said
Little bird, you sing quite early, isn't the night long enough?
No, the night is always far too short
Because it's almost four o'clock in the morning
Because then it really becomes fun I've often said it's going to be a late one
I had often heard: it is high time
But all those cries were to no avail
There were people having breakfast again
We sang a carnival chorus for the last time
And met the milkman on the empty quiet square
And he said, and you know, you know what he said:
Little bird, you sing quite early
Is the night not long enough, no, the night is always far too short
Because it's almost four o'clock in the morning
Because then it really becomes fun
Little bird, you sing quite early
Isn't the night long enough?
No, the night is always far too short
Because it's almost four o'clock
Around four in the morning
