Kommer I snart I Husmænd
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Our translations:  FRE
Raabet stiger i Morg'nens Skjær:
Kommer I snart!
jager som Blæst om Sig og Kjær,
hvisker ved Ruden, hvor Pilen læ'r:
Kommer I snart, I Husmænd!

Tiden ruller med store Ting;
- kommer I snart! -
tungt dog drejer dens Hjul omkring;
I kan øge dets træge Sving;
- kommer I snart, I Husmænd!

Aaget bøjed jer Far og Mor
- kommer I snart! -
knuger jer selv, jert Barn, jer Bror,
venter paa Vuggens spæde Nor
- kommer I snart, I Husmænd!

Landet lyser af Korn og Kvæg
- kommer I snart! -
Eders Kvinde bag klinet Væg
malker Geden med striden Skæg
- kommer I snart, I Husmænd!

Dovne sugede Jordens Marv,
- kommer I snart! -
Tusind Tønder til Taabers Tarv!
Hvad de vraged, blev eders Arv;
- kommer I snart, I Husmænd!

Neg I sanked til andres Lad
- kommer I snart! -
søbed som Tak for Svedens Bad
Trællens Æde af Hundens Fad
- kommer I snart, I Husmænd!

Staa ej bundne jer Bødler bi!
- kommer I snart! -
grib jer Spade og hug jer fri!
I er tusind, hvor de er ti!
- kommer I snart, I Husmænd!

Venez vite, vous les petits fermiers !
Language: French (Français)  after the Danish (Dansk) 
La clameur monte dans les lueurs du matin :
Venez vite !
Elle court comme le vent  les gâtines et les tourbières,
chuchote à la fenêtre, près du saule :
Venez vite, vous les petits fermiers !

Le temps des grandes choses se lève ;
Venez vite !
Pourtant votre roue tourne pesamment ;
Vous pouvez accélérer son mouvement ;
Venez vite, vous les petits fermiers !

Le joug courbe vos pères et mères,
Venez vite !
Il vous oppresse, votre enfant, votre frère,
il attend le petit enfant au berceau,
Venez vite, vous les petits fermiers !

Le pays est illuminé de blé et de bétail,
Venez vite !
Votre femme, derrière le mur de torchis,
trait la chèvre à la rude barbe,
Venez vite, vous les petits fermiers !

Le paresseux suçait le sang de la terre,
Venez vite !
Mille tonneaux pour l'intérêt des imbéciles !
Ce qu'ils ont rejeté fut votre part ;
Venez vite, vous les petits fermiers !

Vous avez ramassé des gerbes pour d'autres paresseux,
Venez vite !
Reçu comme merci pour un bain de sueur
une nourriture d'esclave dans l'assiette d'un chien,
Venez vite, vous les petits fermiers !

Vos bourreaux ne restent pas inactifs !
Venez vite !
Saisissez vos bêches et rendez-vous libres !
Vous êtes mille quand ils sont dix !
Venez vite, vous les petits fermiers !
