Maybe you are proud to drive a big fast car,
but I wear red new shoes!

With my red new shoes,
I can dance,
I can walk,
I can fly away
to the stars
of phantasy.

Maybe you are proud to have many friends
and they’re often around you,
But I learned to be also happy alone.
I wear red new shoes!

Maybe you are proud to have the best parents
and they often buy things you need.
But I have learned to play with stones and wood.
I wear red new shoes!

With my red new shoes,
I can dance,
I can walk,
I can fly away
to the stars
of phantasy.

Maybe you are proud to fly and drive in foreign, far countries,
whenever you want to do.
But I know the district around my village.
I wear red new shoes!

Maybe you are proud to swim in the ocean
and you can hang around on beach.
But I can swim in the pond, where is the duck’s home.
I wear red new shoes!

With my red new shoes,
I can dance,
I can walk,
I can fly away
to the stars
of phantasy.

Maybe you are proud to climb to the highest mountaintop,
and you have a distant view to the horizon.
But I can slip through all seasons and sled from the nearby hill.
I wear red new shoes!

Maybe you are proud to wear fashionable clothing,
and you take care of them, many people admire you.
But I can frolic around without to take care of groovy clothes.
I wear red new shoes!

With my red new shoes,
I can dance,
I can walk,
I can fly away
to the stars
of phantasy.
