Homlefar
Language: Norwegian (Bokmål)
Og homlefar, han surrer,
og surrer sig i ring,
surrer og surrer i ring,
han danser, og han hopper
som ingen Verdens ting
Og surrer sig i ring,
Og spiler sine vinger
i de sirligste sving,
for alle de smaa blomster
de svaermer han om kring,
han surrer og surrer,
han surrer og surrer,
Og alle de smaa blomster,
de skal ham høre til,
ja, alle de smaa blomster,
saa mange som han vil,
for alle de smaa blomster
de har saa lyst et smil;
men alle de smaa blomster,
de narrer ham April,
men alle de smaa blomster,
de narrer ham April!

Papa bourdon
Language: French (Français) after the Norwegian (Bokmål)
Et papa bourdon, bourdonne,
et tourne en rond,
bourdonne et tourne en rond,
il danse et il saute
comme personne au monde,
et tourne en rond.
Et ouvre ses ailes
d'un élan des plus élégants,
devant toutes les petites fleurs
qui rêvent autour de lui,
il bourdonne et bourdonne,
il bourdonne et bourdonne,
Et toutes les petites fleurs,
elles devront lui appartenir,
oui, toutes les petites fleurs,
autant qu'il veut,
car toutes les petites fleurs
ont un sourire si désirable;
mais toutes les petites fleurs,
elles se moquent de lui,
mais toutes les petites fleurs
elles se moquent de lui !
