ENGLISH lyrics:
"Ten Cocoa Children

We played blind man's buff
Aboard a boat
The fine for the one who lost
Was a dive into the deep sea
In the midst of fish and the warm waves
In search of the king of kings

Un da du dei du da
There was nothing left to eat
Daidu dei du da-ah

Un da du dei du da
Then there were only nine left
Dadu dei du da-ah

To whoever asks you "who are you"
You will say "we are the wizards"
So the mothers
Bring gifts of cocoa
And cane sugar
To the king of kings...PUFF PANT

Un da du dei du da
One of them feel asleep
Daidu dei du da-ah

Un da du dei du da
There were only eight left
Dadu dei du da-ah

We followed a comet
Which took off from a ship
It turned into a ghost
It appeared and disappeared
On it were people with masks
Like pirates...OOOOOOOH

Un da du dei du da
We couldn't find one of them
Daidu dei du da ah

Un da du dei du da
There were only seven left
Dadu dei du da-ah

In the darkness of the ship's hold
Together as tight as could be
The sweet fables...UHMMH
We heard a siren
One looked up
His hand going here and there

Un da du dei du da
One of us broke in half
Du dei du da-ah

Un da du dei du da
And only six were left
Dadu dei du da-ah

We swam in circles at the bottom of the sea
In chorus, we sang, we laughted, we played
As tight as could be
Like the portholes of a space ship
A thousand colours from a spinning top which
Lifts itself up towards the sky

We left in secret
To play with the sea gulls
On the high banks...EHHHHHHHEHEHEH
When out of the darkness came
The shadow of a pirate
With a sword...RUNRUNRUNRUN!

Un da du dei du da
One of us was speared in the side
Dadu dei du da-ah

Un da du dei du da
Only five were left
Du dei du da-ah

A boat approached us
And a gentleman with a cloak stepped out
He gave us a new name
But for my brother
He couldn't find one...OHIBO....OHI!

Un da du dei du da
One cannot live without a name
Daidu dei du da-ah

Un da du dei du da
Only four were left
Dadu dei du da-ah

Then a strong wind came
And we blew into the sails
Not to be carried away....PFFFF!
One of us leaned too far over
He slipped into the sea
A crab snacked him....SGNACK!
Un da du dei du da
A crab took him
Du dei du da-ah

Un da du dei du da
And only three were left
Dadu dei du da-ah

While we rested
A guardian angel
Looked over us.....RONF!
He took the most beautiful of us
And covered him with lotus
And kissed him...SMACK!

Un da du dei du da
He swallowed him with kisses
Daidu dei du da-ah

Un da du dei du da
And only two were left
Dadu dei du da-ah

Then the summer came
There were only two of us left
Waiting
For the arrival at Bethlemme
With gifts tightly held in hand
And eyes fixed on the sky, on the sky...UHM...

Un da du dei du da
One of us melted like wax
Du dei du da-ah

Un da du dei du da
And only one of us was left
Dadu dei du da-ah

We swam in a circle at the bottom of the sea
In chorus , we sang, we laughed, we played
As tight as could be
Like portholes of a space ship
A thousand colours from a spinning top
Which lifts itself up towards the sky

Now it's only me left
..............

Un da du dei du ba, du dai u-un bede
Da, daidu bede da-a
Un daidu dei du ba, un daiun dede un da
Dai un bede da, deh"
