| Denmark, 1937 |
Smaabørn, kjør kun rask afsted!
See, qvivit! vi komme med.
Det er Fastelavn i Dag,
Vi skal til et lystigt Lag;
Katten, som vil faae os fat,
Har de nu i Tønden sat.
Fare! Fare! Krigsmand!
Døden skal han lide,
Han kom dog til allersidst
I den sorte Gryde.
Quickly children, off you go!
Quickly children, off you go!
Whoosh, we’re with you, we’re not slow.
Lent is here again today,
Time for fun and time for play;
And the cat that chased us so
In the barrel has been stowed.
Danger, danger! Soldier!
Death comes when you’ve fallen,
You shall end up last of all
In the coal-black cauldron
For the ‘cat in the barrel’ game, see here.
