Tyveknægten
Language: Danish (Dansk)
I vuggen ligger det spæde nor,
det sover så trygt og stille;
moderen læser et fadervor,
en engel hun ser i den lille.
Ømt hun kysser hans runde kind
og glemmer hver jordisk smerte,
drømmer så sødt i fremtid ind;
så drømmer hvert moderhjerte.
Men ravnen kommer med al sin slægt,
og synger bag ruden sin vise:
"Din engel bliver en tyveknægt,
og vi skal engelen spise!"

Le voleur
Language: French (Français) after the Danish (Dansk)
Le frêle enfant est allongé dans le berceau,
Il dort bien calmement, bien à l'abri ;
La mère lit un Notre Père,
Elle considère son petit comme un ange.
Oppressée, elle embrasse ses joues rondes
Et oublie tous les maux terrestres,
Elle rêve avec douceur au futur ;
Ainsi fait le cœur de toute mère.
Mais le corbeau arrive avec toute sa famille
Et chante derrière les vitres sa chanson :
« Ton ange deviendra un voleur,
et nous mangerons l'ange ! »
