Language version lyrics
What taps while I am sitting still?
My hand rests near the middle of my chest
Just left of center, I feel thump-thump
A steady beat returns beneath my palm
My heart's a muscle working all the time
Two fingers gently rest upon my wrist
Each heartbeat makes a wave I feel as my pulse
Thump-thump, my heart is pumping blood
It squeezes, relaxes, fills again
Blood picks up oxygen in my lungs
And carries it from toes up to my head
I do a few light, easy jumps
A rosy glow comes to my cheeks
I check my chest and wrist once more
Now every thump arrives a little faster
Moving muscles need more oxygen
Thump-thump, my heart is pumping blood
It squeezes, relaxes, fills again
Blood picks up oxygen in my lungs
And carries it from toes up to my head
I rest upon the couch and breathe
My pulse slows down a bit at a time
The gentle rhythm settles down again
Thump-thump, my heart is pumping blood
It squeezes, relaxes, fills again
Blood picks up oxygen in my lungs
And carries it from toes up to my head
At rest, my pulse is slow again
My heart keeps working like a steady pump
