The singer recalls the early days of learning to speak, when their attempts at forming words were still crude and limited to babbling sounds like 'Bl-bl-bl' and 'Gna-gna.'

So hoaßt der Text von diesem Lied in meiner Babyspråch:

The singer concludes the song by reiterating how difficult it is for them to communicate with others and use complex language. They provide a humorous example of an uncle who wants them to say a very long and complicated word ('Powidltatschgerl') and express their own reluctance to do so. Ultimately, they would rather just say:

Poppele, Poppele, Waggele! Schatzi Putzi Schnaggele!
The playful and endearing phrase that expresses love and affection, even in the face of language barriers and frustration.
