Tilim‑bom
Language: French (Français)  after the Russian (Русский) 
Our translations:  DUT
Tilimbom, tilimbom, 
C’est la cloche du feu qui sonne.
Chez la chèvre il brûle,
On l’entend qui hurle.
La chèvre a couru dehors
Et la cloche sonn’ plus fort.
Qui la sonne? C’est le chat,
Il s’y pend par les deux bras.

Tilimbom, tilimbom,
Faut venir quand on vous sonne.
Vient la poule avec un seau
Et l’a plongé dans l’eau;
Mon sieur coq court derrière ell’;
Qui traîne un’ grande échelle;
Et, le bouc, il grogn’
“Tout ce bruit m’assomm’,
moi je n’y suis pour personne.”

Bimbambom
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the French (Français) 
Bimbam bimbombam
De noodklok slaat alarm :
Er is brand bij de geit,
Gegil klingt ver en wijd.
De geit rent zijn huisje uit,
De noodklok beiert extra luid. 
Het is de kat, die hem laat slaan
Hangt er met beide armen aan

Wordt er bimbam waargenomen,
Dan moet men echt wel komen!
De kip snelt met een emmer aan
En dompelt die in’t water,
Een lange ladder zeult heer haan
Een ogenblikje later.
En de bok, hij moppert:
‘k word gek van al die herrie hier!
Ik doe niemand een plezier!
