Translation:
The Disaster Joke Song
My mom eats spicy food
My sister, she eats cutlets
My dad, well he eats cold beans, without a spoon!
What a disaster, it's a disaster
My mom wears a coat
My sister, she wears a fancy jacket
My dad, well he wears an old overcoat, without buttons!
What a disaster, it is a disaster
My mom wears shoes
My sister, she wears high boots
My poor dad, he wears old sandals, without soles!
What a disaster, it is a disaster
My mom travels by bus
My sister, she travels by car
My poor dad, he can hardly walk even with a cane!
What a disaster, it is a disaster
Now my mom is betrothed
My sister, she will be married
But my poor dad, he will die eternally
What a disaster, it is a disaster
