Elsje Fiederelsje

Children's Song

(Dutch)

Elsje fiederelsje,
zet je klompjes bij 't vuur.
Moeder bakt pannenkoeken,
maar het meel is zo duur.

Tingelinge pannenkoek,
meel met rozijnen.
Tingelinge pannenkoek,
kom op bezoek.

Children's Song

(English)

Elsje fiederelsje,
Put your little clogs* by the fire.
Mother makes pancakes,
But the flour is so dear.

Tingelinge, pancake,
Flour with raisins.
Tingelinge, pancake,
Come see us here.
