1 They have at the bottom of their handkerchiefs
A tiny bit of fog
To hide their sorrow
When they cry in their hands
br/>We will never know very well
Why children cry
We should tell them more often
What the peasants say...
R So cry, cry ' so not like that
It made the Good Lord cry there
It made the Good Lord cry
Cry' so, cry' so not like that
It made the Good Lord cry,
It made the Good Lord cry, Good Lord
2 This is how the peasants
Lulled their unhappy children
That's what children believe
By wiping their big eyes
We'll never know for sure
Why children cry
We should tell them more often
What the peasants say...
3 Since then I have learned of course
That the Good Lord did not cry
At least not also often
Not as often as you think
But every time I see
Someone crying near me
I can't help myself
To gently sing to him...
