Sipa lipa lakritspipa

Segla jorden runt i snipa

Sipa lipa lakritsbåt

Regnar det blir snipan våt

Bananas believe that bananas

Have fallen at night from the sky.

They gather in bunches in tree tops

And bid the moon goodbye.

The moon is their goddess, their mother,

A giant banana above.

She carries the baby bananas

And fills them with motherly love.

When her belly is full and rounded

She is ready to give birth

And all of the baby bananas

Come down to live on earth.

The sun is in love with the moon.

He helped her to conceive

And is father to all the bananas.

That is what bananas believe.
