Ode to our son. No need to explain. (Well, just this one fact - "välling" translates into "gruel" in English, a grain soup for older infants and grown-ups alike. Like something in between grits and infant formula.) Just read the lyrics below and sing along with the music video by The Police.
Just a child today, less than 18 months, oh Another hungry day, with no one here but momm--yyy More starvation than an infant could bear Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh I'll send an S.O.S. to the world I'll send an S.O.S. to the world I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my Välling in a bottle, yeah Välling in a bottle, yeah A year has passed since I left the boobs But I should have known this right from the start Only formula can keep me together Milk can mend your life but Lactose can give you heart(-burn) I'll send an S.O.S. to the world I'll send an S.O.S. to the world I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my Välling in a bottle, yeah Välling in a bottle, yeah Välling in a bottle, yeah Välling in a bottle, yeah Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw Hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore Seems I'm not alone looking for remains Hundred billion infants here, hooked on fluid grains I'll send an S.O.S. to the world I'll send an S.O.S. to the world I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my I hope that someone gets my Välling in a bottle, yeah Välling in a bottle, yeah Välling in a bottle, yeah
