Vom Osterhääschen

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Du kleiner Osterhaas,
Leg' Eier in das Gras,
Viel Eier gelb und roth,
Die essen wir mit Salz und Brod:
Du Haas, versteck' sie wohl
Unter den grünen Kohl:
Wir finden bald sie aus,
Und tragen sie nach Haus.

About the Easter Bunny

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

You little Easter bunny,
Lay some eggs in the grass,
Many eggs, yellow and red;
We shall eat them with salt and bread:
You bunny, hide them well
Under the green cabbage:
We shall soon find them,
And carry them home.
