Killingdans
Language: Norwegian (Nynorsk) 
Our translations:  ENG FRE GER
Aa hipp og hoppe
og tipp og toppe
paa denne Dag;
aa nipp og nappe
og tripp og trappe
i slikt eit Lag.
Og det er Kjæl-i-Sol,
og det er Spel-i-Sol,
og det er Titr-i-[Lid]1,
og det er Glitr-i-[Lid]1,
og det er Kjæte
og Lurvelæte
ein Solskindag.

Aa nupp i Nakken,
og stup i Bakken
og tipp paa Taa;
aa rekk i Ringen
og svipp i Svingen
og hopp-i-haa.
Og det er Steik-i-Sol,
og det er Leik-i-Sol,
og det er Glim-i-[Lid]1,
og det er Stim-i-[Lid]1,
og det er Kvitter
og Bekkje-Glitter
og lognt i Kraa.

Aa trapp og tralle,
og Puff i Skalle,
den skal du ha!
Og snipp og snute,
og Kyss paa Trute,
den kan du ta.
Og det er Rull-i-Ring,
og det er Sull-i-Sving,
og det er Lett-paa-Taa,
og det er Sprett-paa-Taa,
og det er hei-san
og det er hopp-san
og tra-la-la.
