Köpfchen in das Wasser, Schwänzchen in die Höh is the best known couplet from Alle meine Entchen, a traditional German children's song about ducklings swimming on a lake. The lyrics have been sung in kindergartens and families for generations, making the line instantly familiar across German speaking countries. Online, the short excerpt circulates on its own as a cute reaction sound for water scenes, ducks and bath time, separate from the full song, because the image of a head down and tail up is universally understood.
À propos de ce son
Clip of the German nursery rhyme line Köpfchen in das Wasser from Alle meine Entchen, popular for duck, swimming and cute animal videos online.
The clip features the familiar German line about a little duckling dipping its head into the water with its tail up in the air. Sung or spoken in a light, playful tone, it captures the simple up and down bobbing motion described in Alle meine Entchen. The rhythm is bouncy and instantly recognisable to German speaking listeners, which gives any scene of swimming, splashing or waddling a sweet, childlike charm. It feels nostalgic rather than dramatic, turning an ordinary moment in water into something cute and funny.
