Children's Song
(English)
Mester Jakob, Mester Jakob
sover du,
sover du
hører du at klokken,
hører du at klokken,
Bim bam bum.
Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping,
Brother John, brother John?
Morning bells are ringing.
Morning bells are ringing.
Ding, dong, ding. Ding, dong, ding.
Notes
The literal translation would be:
Master James, Master James
Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
Don't you hear the bells?
Don't you hear the bells?
Bim, bam, boom.
