[@gl00myharvester]

I'm not fluent but here's my best attempt; Once in a small town there lived a woman called Barbara. Barbara was known throughout the land for her abnormally good rhubarb cake Yes, you could say that Barbara's rhubarb cake was (without ifs or buts) an almost magical experience. Abra Kadabra! Well this cake was bombastic! And the demand rose drastically! In the very same year, Barbara opened a bar which she called "Barbara's Rhubarb Bar" In the city there was also a couple of Barbarians, who had heard of Barbara's rhubarb cake And because, from then on, they visited Barbara every day, People soon called them the "Rhubarb Bar Barbarians" In the following years the Barbarians left behind their barbaric ways bit by bit They were, according to Barbara, almost as nice as Barbapapa But the Barbarians were very hairy, And all had very straggly Barbarian Beards (Not striking at all!) Therefore Barbara sent her barbarian friends to a Barbarian Beard Barber. He cut the barbarian's hair, the whole head, In his barbarian-Beard-Barber barber's shop He was a terrible prattler [hard to translate], but their beards were totally tiptop afterwards So the Barbarians invited their beard barber to the rhubarb bar after his work was done They drunk a beer at the bar together, the rhubarb bar barbarians and the beard barber. And every barbarian ate a piece of rhubarb cake there (I think it was two!) Yeah, even the toughest men became approachable there! And everything thanks to Barbara's Rhubarb! Three Barbarians and the Beard Barber! Sat at a bar with a beer one night! The police came along "well where have you been?" Three Barbarians and the Beard Barber!

What's fascinating about this is that the word for "barbarian" came about because the Greeks and Romans thought foreigners sounded like "ba ba ba" when they spoke, and the term was usually applied to people from the northern regions of Europe, where they wore longer hair and beards. From that we get words like barber (referring to beards) and even the name Barbra, meaning "wife of the barber" or "foreign woman" depending on who you ask. But here I am, listening to this song in German (a language I do not understand) so it's come full circle for me, sounding like, "ba ba ba" just like it did for the Greeks and Romans.

I had to know the English lyrics, so this was the best I could do: Once upon a time, in a small town, there There was a girl named Barbara. And this Barbara was all over the country known for their incredibly good rhubarb cake. Yes, you could say that Barbara's Rhubarb cake without any ifs and buts It was a magical experience... Abera kadabera! Well, this cake was absolutely amazing! And the demand for it increased dramatically. Barbara opened that same year a bar and called it “Barbara’s Rhubarb Bar”. There were also a few barbarians in the city, they had found out about Barbara's rhubarb bar. And since they were with Barbara every day from then on, They were soon called the rhubarb barbarians. In the following years the barbarians left little by little they begin their barbaric behavior. They were, Barbara claimed, almost more likeable than Barbapapa. But the barbarians were very hairy and they all had shaggy barbarian beards. Not special at all! Barbara then sent hers Barbarian friends to the barbarian beard barber. He even styled the barbarian's entire head in his barbarian beard barber barbershop. Although he was a terrible talker, But the beard was absolutely perfect afterwards! The barbarians then invited their beard barber After the work is done, head to the rhubarb bar. Then they drank a beer together at the bar, the rhubarb barbarians and the bearded barber, and ate without any barbarism a piece of rhubarb cake. I think there were two. Yes, even very tough men became approachable, and all thanks to Barbara's rhubarb! Three Barbarians and the Bearded Barber We were sitting in the bar one evening having a beer. Then the police came: “Yes, where were you? Three Barbarians and the Bearded Barber!”

Es war einmal in einem kleinen Städtchen, da lebte ein Mädchen namens Barbara. Und diese Barbara war im ganzen Land für ihren abartig guten Rhabarberkuchen bekannt. Ja, man konnte sagen, dass Barbaras Rhabarberkuchen ohne Wenn und Aber gar eine geradezu magische Erfahrung war … Aberakadabera! Tja, dieser Kuchen war geradezu bombastisch! Und die Nachfrage danach erstarkte drastisch. Barbara eröffnete noch im selben Jahr eine Bar und nannte sie „Barbaras Rhabarberbar“. In der Stadt gab es auch ein paar Barbaren, die hatten von Barbaras Rhabarberbar erfahren. Und da sie fortan jeden Tag bei Barbara waren, nannte man sie bald die Rhabarberbarbarbaren. In den Folgejahren ließen die Barbaren nach und nach ihr barbarisches Gebaren fahren. Sie waren, behauptete Barbara, fast noch sympathischer als Barbapapa. Aber die Barbaren waren stark behaart und hatten alle einen struppigen Barbarenbart. - Gar nicht apart! Daraufhin schickte Barbara ihre Barbarenfreunde zum Barbarenbartbarbier. Der frisierte den Barbaren sogar den ganzen Kopp in seinem Barbarenbartbarbier-Barbershop. Er war zwar ein fürchterlicher Laberkopp, aber der Bart war danach total tipptopp! Darauf luden die Barbaren ihren Bartbarbier fein nach getaner Arbeit noch in die Rhabarberbar ein. Da tranken sie dann gemeinsam an der Bar noch ein Bier, die Rhabarberbarbarbaren und der Bartbarbier, und aßen dazu bar jeder Barbarei ein Stück Rhabarberkuchen. - Ich glaub es waren zwei. Ja, da wurden sogar ganz harte Männer nahbar, und das alles dank Barbaras Rhabarber! Drei Barbaren und der Bartbarbier saßen eines Abends in der Bar bei 'nem Bier. Da kam die Polizei: „Ja, wo wart denn ihr?“ Drei Barbaren und der Bartbarbier!
