Marienwürmchen

(Sung text for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE

Marienwürmchen, setze dich 
Auf meine Hand, auf meine Hand.
Ich tu' dir nichts zuleide.
Es soll dir nichts zuleid' geschehn,
Will nur deine bunten Flügel sehn,
Bunte Flügel meine Freude.

Marienwürmchen, fliege weg,
Dein Häuschen brennt, die Kinder schrein
So sehre, ach so sehre.
Die böse Spinne spinnt sie ein,
Marienwürmchen, flieg hinein,
Deine Kinder schreien sehre.

Marienwürmchen, fliege hin 
Zu Nachbars Kind, zu Nachbars Kind.
Sie tun dir nichts zuleide;
Es soll dir ja kein Leid geschehn,
Sie wollen deine bunten Flügel sehn,
Und grüß sie alle beide.

Coccinelle

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Coccinelle, pose-toi 
sur ma main, sur ma main,
Je ne te ferai aucun mal.
Il ne t'arrivera rien de mal,
Je veux juste voir tes ailes colorées,
Ailes colorées, ma joie.

Coccinelle, envole-toi,
Ta petite maison brûle, tes enfants crient
Si fort, si fort,
La méchante araignée les embobine,
Coccinelle, vole là-bas,
Tes enfants crient fort.

Coccinelle, vole 
vers les enfants du voisin, vers les enfants du voisin,
Ils ne te feront aucun mal,
Il ne t'arrivera rien de mal,
Ils veulent voir tes ailes colorées,
Et salue-les tous les deux.
