Ich möchte ein Eisbär sein/I want to be a polar bear
im kalten Polar/at the cold North Pole
dann müßte ich nicht mehr schrei´n/Then I wouldn’t howl anymore
alles wär so klar/everything would be all right.
Eisbären müssen nie weinen./Polar bears must never cry.
Eisbär is a 1981 Europop hit by the now defunct Swiss band Grauzone. There’s a cover by French band Nouvelle Vague, here. Photos by Mr. NEV who may or may not have been singing the German language 80s hit as we strolled the zoo grounds.
I love that song, especially the Nouvelle Vague cover. It’s so beautiful!
Haha, love this!
Love the big paw photos!
We’ve got a similar tunnel at the Detroit Zoo, and it’s great when the polar bears are playful enough to get some decent shots of them. I can spend hours sitting them and shooting photos when they’re out to play 🙂
Wow, now I’m going to have to pile all my assorted children in the car and drive down to Tacoma before school starts.
Thanks for that.
