Once there was a lad named Hans,
With a heart as light as a song.
He set off on a journey grand,
With nothing but cheer to tag along.
Oh, Hans in luck, with a smile so wide,
In his heart, joy's eternal tide.
With every step, a tale to tell,
In Hans's world, all is well.
He traded his horse for a lump of gold,
Thinking fortune had kissed his hand.
But oh, his heart was not sold,
For happiness lay in the green, green land.
Oh, Hans in luck, with a smile so wide,
In his heart, joy's eternal tide.
With every step, a tale to tell,
In Hans's world, all is well.
Through fields and forests, he wandered free,
With laughter as his trusty guide.
In every sight, a jubilee,
For in simplicity, he found his stride.
