Ben der Hügel ist so grünBen the hill is so greenUnd er will dich rollen sehnAnd it wants to watch you rollArme an und Augen zuArms in and eyes closedUnd dann einfach loslassenAnd then simply let goRoll roll Ben den HügelRoll roll Ben down the hillGras und Himmel Gras und BlauGrass and sky grass and blueRoll roll Ben den HügelRoll roll Ben down the hillUnten liegst du und lachst lautAt the bottom you lie there laughingHalme kitzeln am GesichtBlades of grass tickle your faceEine Biene fliegt vorbeiA bee goes flying pastOben steht ein kleiner BaumThere is a small tree at the topUnd du rufst noch mal noch malAnd you shout again againRoll roll Ben den HügelRoll roll Ben down the hillGras und Himmel Gras und BlauGrass and sky grass and blueRoll roll Ben den HügelRoll roll Ben down the hillUnten liegst du und lachst lautAt the bottom you lie there laughingWenn die Hose Flecken hatWhen your trousers have green stainsUnd im Haar noch Halme stehnAnd there is still grass in your hairBen dann war der Tag genauBen then the day was exactlySo wie Tage sein müssenThe way days ought to beRoll roll Ben den HügelRoll roll Ben down the hillGras und Himmel Gras und BlauGrass and sky grass and blueRoll roll Ben den HügelRoll roll Ben down the hillUnten liegst du und lachst lautAt the bottom you lie there laughing

Where the name comes from

Ben is most often a short form of Benjamin, from the Hebrew Binyamin, traditionally translated as 'son of the right hand' - though today it's also given as a standalone name.

Why this moment matters

Rolling down a hill is one of the purest, most uncomplicated joys a child ever discovers, and most parents remember doing it themselves.

The story behind this song

Arms tucked in, he rolls the whole way down the grassy hill and comes up laughing and dizzy at the bottom.
