Paff, der Zauberdrachen [English translation]

Paff, the magical dragon, lived by the sea,

On an island paradise, but that was long ago.

The small Jacky Papel loved Paff so much

And rode on him happily and joyful accross land and sea.

Paff, the magical dragon, lived by the sea,

On an island paradise, but that was long ago.

And when faraway places attracted him, Paff swam up to Shanghai.

From his back then loudly called a happy Jacky: "Ahoy!"

The ships of the pirates, they bolted away immediately,

And everyone called: "Paff in sight, we sail home fast!"

Paff, the magical dragon, lived by the sea,

On an island paradise, but that was long ago.

Paff, the magical dragon, lived by the sea,

On an island paradise, but that was long ago.

A dragon, he lives forevever, but small boys, oh no!

And so Paff was all alone one day

Jacky never came back, Paff lay on the beach alone

And with his dragon tail he threw sand into the air.

He cried dragon tears, his look was sad

But his tears never brought Jacky back

Since he lost his best friend with little Jacky

He locked himself away in the cave and never came out again.

Paff, the magical dragon, lived by the sea,

On an island paradise, but that was long ago.
