Lockung

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Komm, komm mit nur einen Schritt!
Hab schon gegessen,
Will dich nicht fressen,
Komm, komm mit nur einen Schritt!

Kaum zwei Zehen weit noch zu gehen
Bis zu dem Häuschen,
Komm, mein Mäuschen,
Ei sieh da, da sind wir ja!

Hier in dem Eckchen
(Pst) nur kein Schreckchen,
Wie glüh'n deine Bäckchen,
Jetzt hilft kein Schrein,
Mein bist du, mein!

Enticement

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Come, come with just one more step!
I’ve already eaten,
I don’t wish to devour you,
Come, come with just one more step!

Hardly even two toes left to go
Up to the little house,
Come, my little mouse,
Ah, see there, there we are!

Here in the little corner
(Pst) Just don’t be frightened,
How your cheeks are aglow,
Crying won’t help you now,
You are mine, mine!
