What are the Das Rote Pferd lyrics in English?

Answer 1

Edit: well "Schwanz" means "tail" but it also translates to "dick", so... I can literally translate the song- however there is more to it that I don't get. I only understand the literal translation. I don't completely understand the clever implied meaning of the story. I'm assuming that since it also doubles as a childrens song, they are talking about the horse's tail. I'd love for someone to interpret the humor of the song. I found this question because I was looking for someone to explain the song in English. There was a red horse who simply turned around

and shoed a fly with his tail.

The fly was not dumb, it went "zum zum zum" (like buzz),

and determined, flew back around the red horse.

La la lalalala...

O.k. Friends, that was not bad for the beginning,

but there's more!

Are you feeling goodf?

Do you want to party? Yes!

Then get ready and lets sing it all together:

There was a red horse who simply turned around

and shoed a fly with his tail.

The fly was not dumb, it went "zum zum zum" (like buzz),

and determined, flew back around the red horse.

All of it!

La la lalalala...

We ride together!
