Interpretation
The song lyrics "Es regnet, es regnet" by
Kinderlieder is a simple and cheerful children's rhyme about rainy weather. The text tells us that it's raining outside and the cuckoo is getting wet. But we are indoors and it doesn't bother us.
In the first lines, it says: "Es regnet, es regnet, Der Kuckuck wird nass". Here we are told that it's raining and the cuckoo, a bird, is getting wet. Rain is water that falls from the sky, and when it rains, many things outside get wet, including animals.
But then the text says: "Wir sitzen im Trockenen, Was schadet uns das?". That means we, the children, are sitting in a dry place and the rain doesn't bother us. We are safe and have no reason to worry.
The text then repeats and says: "Die Erde wird nass, Mach mich nicht nass, mach mich nicht nass, Mach nur die bösen Kinder nass!". Here it is said that the earth is getting wet, but we don't want to get wet. It emphasizes that only the "naughty" children should get wet. This is of course not meant seriously and is just for fun.
Overall, the song lyrics "Es regnet, es regnet" is a cheerful rhyme about rainy weather. It reminds us that we can have fun even in bad weather and don't have to worry as long as we are indoors.
