Taler, Taler, du musst wandern
"This is sung to a game where a coin is passed secretly from one child to another, and children guess who ended up with the coin at the end of the song." -Lisa
This song is sometimes sung as, "Ringlein Ringlein du musst wandern" (Ring, Ring, Must You Wonder).

Taler, Taler, du musst wandern
Coin, Coin, You Must Wander

(English)
Taler, Taler, du musst wandern,
Von dem einen
Zu dem andern
Das ist schön
Das ist schön
Neimand darf der Taler sehn!
Coin, coin, you must wander
From one
To another
That is nice
That is nice
No one should see the coin.
Notes
A taler (also spelled "thaler") is any of various silver coins that served as a unit of currency in some Germanic countries between the 15th and 19th centuries. The word "dollar" has its origins in the German word "taler"
Game Instructions
This song can be played in a circle. You give a little something (a pebble, a coin…) to one child and he has to pass it to the next child without letting it show.
