Origineel
When I looked you in the eye
I knew it was time for good-bye
You were the only one I had around
But you couldn’t keep your feet on the ground
Run rabbit run
But what’s that you’re runnin’ for
Run rabbit run
You ain’t gonna run no more
Bye bye baby, bye bye bird!
Thought the cold sidewalk stones
Broke your little brittle bones
I know you were already dead
When the truck rolled over your head
Bye bye baby, bye bye bird!
Vertaling
Toen ik je in de ogen keek
wist ik dat het tijd was om afscheid te nemen
Jij was de enige die ik in de buurt had
Maar je kon je voeten niet op de grond houden
Ren, konijn, ren
But what’s that you’re runnin’ for
Ren konijn ren
You ain’t gonna run no more
Dag schatje, dag vogeltje!
Dacht dat de koude stoep stenen
Brak je kleine broze botten
Ik weet dat je al dood was
When the truck rolled over your head
Dag, baby, dag, dag vogel!
