Vom Brummställchen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Der Brummstall ist ein böser Ort,
Die Kinder sind nicht gerne dort;
Doch wollen sie nicht artig sein
Und hören gar nicht auf zu schrei'n,
So sperrt man sie ohn Gnad hinein.
Drin sitzen sie und weinen sehr:
"Mama, ich thu es niemals mehr!"
So komm heraus mein liebes Kind,
Die Thränchen wische ab geschwind!
Man weiss schon wie die Mütter sind.

Le coin
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Le coin est un endroit horrible,
Les enfants n'aiment pas y aller ;
Mais s'ils ne veulent pas bien se tenir
Et n'arrêtent pas de crier,
On les y envoie sans pitié.
Là ils s'assoient et pleurent beaucoup :
« Maman, je ne le ferai plus jamais ! »
Allons, viens, mon enfant chéri,
Sèche vite tes petites larmes !
On sait bien comment sont les mères.
