Die Biene Maja (song)

"Die Biene Maja" is the title song of the German version of the Japanese anime Maya the Honey Bee. The song was composed by Czech composer Karel Svoboda with lyrics by Florian Cusano and recorded by Czech singer Karel Gott.

Later, Gott recorded the song in Czech for the Czech dub of the series.

In the second season of the German-language version, Gott's recording was used only for the first few episodes, and then replaced with a rendition by James Last Orchestra with female choir vocals.
