Another old favourite, from "Leopold the Cat's Summer":

"We'll survive this trouble":

Translation of lyrics:

I walk along and sing about everything that's good,
And I give the gift of my smile to the passers-by.
If I don't find an answer in another person's heart,
We'll survive this trouble too,
By the way, we'll survive that.

The sun shines brightly, high up in the sky,
How good it is to live in this world.
If thunder suddenly sounds in the middle of the summer,
We'll survive this trouble too.
By the way, we'll survive it.

A drizzly rain beats against the window, nature frowns,
But it's long been known, there is no such thing as bad weather.
Everything is yellowing all around me, and the summer is leaving,
We'll survive this trouble too,
By the way, we'll survive it.
