Hoffmann, Heinrich: Shockheaded Peter (Struwwelpeter in English)

Portre of Hoffmann, Heinrich
Portre of anonim

Back to the translator

Struwwelpeter (German)

Sieh einmal, hier steht er,

Pfui! der Struwwelpeter!

An den Händen beiden

Ließ er sich nicht schneiden

Seine Nägel fast ein Jahr;

Kämmen ließ er nicht sein Haar.

Pfui! ruft da ein jeder:

Garstger Struwwelpeter.

Shockheaded Peter (English)

Just look at him! there he stands,

With his nasty hair and hands.

See! his nails are never cut;

They are grimed as black as soot;

And the sloven, I declare,

Never once has combed his hair;

Anything to me is sweeter

Than to see Shockheaded Peter.
