Paff, der Zauberdrachen Paff, der Zauberdrachen

Paff, der Zauberdrachen
Paff, der Zauberdrachen, lebte am Meer, auf
einem Inselparadies, doch das ist schon lange
her.
Der kleine Jacky Papel liebte den Paff so sehr
und ritt auf Paff vergnügt und froh oft über Land
und Meer.
Paff, der Zauberdrachen, lebte am Meer, auf
einem Inselparadies, doch das ist schon lange
her.
Und lockte sie die Ferne, schwamm Paff bis
nach Shanghai.
Von seinem Rücken rief dann laut der Jacky
froh: „Ahoy!"
Die Schiffe der Piraten, die nahmen gleich
reißaus,
und alle riefen: „Paff in Sicht, wir segeln schnell
nach Haus´.
Paff, der Zauberdrachen, lebte am Meer, auf
einem Inselparadies, doch das ist schon lange
her.
Paff, der Zauberdrachen, lebte am Meer, auf
einem Inselparadies, doch das ist schon lange
her.
Ein Drachen, der lebt ewig, doch kleine Boys, oh
nein!
Und so kam für Paff der Tag, und er war ganz
allein.
Jacky kam nie wieder, einsam lag Paff am Strand
und hieb mit seinem Drachenschwanz hoch in
die Luft den Sand.
Er weinte Drachentränen, traurig war sein Blick,
doch seine Tränen brachten ihm den Jacky nie
zurück.
Weil er mit Klein-Jacky den besten Freund
verlor,
schloss er sich in die Höhle ein und kam nie
mehr hervor.
Paff, der Zauberdrachen, lebte am Meer, auf
einem Inselparadies, doch das ist schon lange
her.
Puff, the Magic Dragon
Translated by J Wayne Green
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea, on an
island paradise, yet that was a long time ago.
The little Jackie Paper loved Puff so very much
and enjoyed riding on Puff over land and sea.
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea, on an
island paradise, but that was a long time ago.
And lured by faraway places, Puff swam as far as
Shanghai.
From his back Jackie then loudly and happily
called: "Ahoy!"
The ships of the pirates, they immediately took to
their heels (ran away),
and everyone called: "Puff in sight, we sail
quickly home.’
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea, on
an island paradise, but that was a long time ago.
Puff, the magic dragon, lived at the sea, on
an island paradise, but that was a long time ago.
A dragon, it lives forever, but small Boys, oh
no!
And in such a way the day came for Puff, and he
was completely alone.
Jackie never came again; Puff lay lonely on the
beach and with his dragon tail, whipped sand high
into the air.
He cried dragon tears, sad was his appearance, but
his tears never brought Jackie back to him.
Because he lost his friendship with little Jackie,
he hid himself in the cave and came out never
more.
Puff, the magic dragon, lived by the sea, on an
island paradise, but that was a long time ago.
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
honah lee,
Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other
fancy stuff. oh
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
honah lee.
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed
sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they
came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared
out his name. oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
honah lee.
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other
toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie paper came no
more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless
roar.
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like
rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his
cave. oh!
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called
honah lee.
