In summer heat or cooling breeze,
Alone or hand-in-hand,
I call you to come with me, please,
Into Wonderland.

However shall we get there? - is
the first thing you will say.
We’ll surely need a magic spell
to open up the way.

And should we take some things to eat, and change of underwear?
And how far must we go before we’re there?

We don’t need any magic spell! Oh, children, do not cry!
It isn’t far, you don’t need to prepare.
To Wonderland you do not have to walk, or swim, or fly.
You only need be there!

You’re sure you don’t mind getting wet?
The rain is magic too!
Or would you rather wait a bit?
Oh well, it’s up to you!

In the land where we are going,
there may be hail and snow.
It’s not a dream, you’re wide awake,
there’s no way back again.

You’re not afraid? You’re sure you’re not? All right, so off we go!
And first, we have to count from one to ten.

It’s getting rather misty here, it’s clearer on our way.
You’ll see all right, but do not go astray!
Good fights with evil, but be sure that good will win the day.
Believe in what I say!

You wouldn’t always understand,
If you were all alone,
But I’ll explain this Wonderland
When we are on our own.

That little girl - her name is Alice.
Just keep her in sight!
With her as guide to Wonderland,
we’re sure to be all right.

Now shut your eyes and see the magic forest all around.
Now just say: "Alice! One, two, three" - and we are onward bound.

Our journey done, a magic oar is rowing us ashore.
Farewell, the land of wonder and delight!
When we are home, we’ll tell them of the wondrous things we saw.
But not - good night!
