Everything can happen in the world,
When children laugh,
When children laugh,
And they are so happy.
How do we know who is right? How can we argue?
Everything can happen in the world,
When children laugh,
And it might just happen,
That a fairy tale will knock
At the door insistently: knock-knock.
Or perhaps Muk decided
To pop round for an hour,
To bring some magic with him.
Or maybe even Koschei himself
Dreams of tasting cabbage soup,
That mum makes for us
When children laugh,
And they are so happy.
Come on, let's daydream,
Or maybe we'll tell fortunes,
Or maybe we'll cast spells
And blow away all prejudices.
And there will be on the trees,
On all, on all the trees,
Growing nothing but cakes,
The ones you haven't tasted yet!
Éclairs, chocolates,
Walking about so sweetly!
Everything can happen in the world,
When children laugh,
When children laugh,
And they are so happy.
Let the grown-ups tell us,
They carry themselves so importantly,
That such things don't happen,
Our fairy tale house doesn't know:
That miracles won't come to us.
But their argument, like ice,
Melts quickly in childhood.
And the rainbow's arc,
That beckons and calls to us:
"Be brave, for the fairy tale awaits!"
