Notes: My first arrangement. An old German childrens song which happens to be the song we use to sing my daughter to sleep each night. It is called "Das Farbenlied" (the colours song) or "Grün, grün, grün" (Green, green, green). There is one colour in each verse and the lyrics repeat all the time:
"Grün, grün, grün sind alle meine Kleider,
grün, grün, grün ist alles, was ich hab.
Darum lieb' ich alles, was so grün ist,
weil mein Schatz ein Jäger ist."
(Green ... are all my cloths, green is everything I own, this is why I love everything green, because my darling is a hunter)
It goes on with all types of colours and matching professions, black => chimney sweeper, red => fireman, yellow => postman, blue => sailor. You get the idea...
