Dr Ferdinand isch gstorbe deutsche Übersetzung
von Mani Matter

Ferdinand died oh no oh no oh no
Ferdinand died it hurts still today
he who praised so much for love in the quarter
Ferdinand died this poor animal
How I always liked Ferdinand
nobody will ever have such a proud tomcat
Just the love moved him to never catched mouses and birds
he has remained my idol this tomcat
how he sang in the garden his whole carefree life just Minnesong
Then he sometimes managed to move the heart of his treasure
he sang for the cats but not for the cat. (german figure of speech)
So he donated the life to the biggest junior staff that comforts you sometimes who think about his dead
a lot of small Ferdinands walk in the cities
since Mister Brändli slained him
Some people we should punisch close the heart for art
they just want to sleep and have no sense of oestrus
So also Mr. Brändli with a pot for the night,
made a end for the poor Ferdinand.
Ferdinand died oh no oh no oh no
Ferdinand died it hurts still today
he who praised so much for love in the quarter
Ferdinand died this poor animal
