Chanson de la Poire
Language: French (Français) after the Danish (Dansk)
C'est l'histoire
d'une poire
on la cueille
dans les feuilles
on la tape
tant et tant,
qu'elle en claque
en trois temps
d'une attaque
Il faut boire
à la poire
un bon coup.
Il faut boire
et c'est tout.

The song of the pear
Language: English after the French (Français)
This is the story
of a pear.
It is picked
among the leaves,
it is squeezed
for such a long time
that it perishes
in three stages
from an attack.
You need to drink
a good mouthful
of the pear-juice.
You need to drink,
and that's all.
