THE ANT

Tiny ant is hard working, in the nest is labouring.
Many hundred needles there gathers with a careful care.
The ant is working, the ant is working.

In the forest can we see the path of the ant busy,
in the middle of the firs, near a tiny river goes,
it's the needleway, it's the needleway.

It is raining heavily, sun is shining so warmly.
The ant has no time to wait in his little hole alone,
the ant never rests, the ant never rests.

Tiny ant is transporting, the winter is soon coming.
It is peaceful in the nest, lying dormant in his peace,
winterrest in warm, winterrest in warm.

At may the spring has started, the snow has away melted.
In his nest is labouring, tiny ant is rebuilding,
the nest in summer, the nest in summer.
