Lyrics

Där gick en liten kille i en gruva ner i Wales
En liten mager pojke nyss fyllda 11år
Han bodde med sin mamma
Som var gammal trött och sjuk
Därför fick han jobba för att klara deras liv
Han skall också ha sin barndomstid
Låt oss alla hjälpa honom dit
Han skall också ha sin barndomstid
Vi kan ge honom ett bättre liv
Det satt en liten flicka
På ett bomullspinneri
En 9 årig gammal liten vän
Hon skulle gått i skolan
Men kan aldrig ta sig tid
Hon övergav's sin pappa
Och jobbar för sitt liv
Hon skall också ha sin barndomstid
Ge henne chansen till ett härligt liv
Hon skall också ha sin barndomstid
Vi ska ge henne ett bättre liv
Det bor en liten flicka
I en bakgårdslägehet
Hon gråter sig till sömns varenda kväll
Hon ser när barnen leker
Men kan aldrig vara med
Hon jobbar ifrån morgon och till kväll
Hon skall också ha sin barndomstid
Du som är vuxen ge dom chansen nu
Hon skall också ha sin barndomstid
Vi ska ge dom en framtid nu
Hon skall också ha sin barndomstid
Du som är vuxen ge dom chansen nu
Dom skall också ha sin barndomstid
Vi skall ge dom en framtid nu
Hon skall ocskså ha sin barndomstid
Du som är vuxen ge dom chansen nu
Dom skall också ha sin barndomstid
Vi ska ge dom en framtid nu

Lyrics translation

There a little guy in a mine went down in Wales
A little skinny boy just 11 years old
He lived with his mother
Who was old tired and sick
That's why he had to work to cope with their lives
He should also have his childhood
Let's all help him get there
He should also have his childhood
We can give him a better life
There sat a little girl
On a cotton kerchief
A 9 year old old little friend
She was supposed to go to school
But can never take the time
She abandoned ' s her dad
And work for his life
She should also have her childhood
Give her the chance for a beautiful life
She should also have her childhood
We're gonna give her a better life
There lives a little girl
In a backyard apartment
She cries herself to sleep every night
She sees when the children play
But can never be with
She works from morning till night
She should also have her childhood
You're an adult give them a chance now
She should also have her childhood
We're gonna give them a future now
She should also have her childhood
You're an adult give them a chance now
They shall also have their childhood
We'll give them a future now
She should also have her childhood
You're an adult give them a chance now
They shall also have their childhood
We're gonna give them a future now
