Dat Danzen to lehrn,
Un danz ganz alleen
Op de achtersten Been. |

Little Matthew, the hare,
Went out for a dare,
Went tipping and prancing
To study some dancing
And danced on is own
On his hind legs alone. |
|

Keem
Reinke de Voss
Un dach: »das en Kost!«
Un seggt: »Lüttje Matten,
So flink oppe Padden?
Un danzst hier alleen
Oppe achtersten Been? |
|
2. |
Came the
fox, the old cheat,
And thought, “What a treat!”
And said, “Hey, little Matt!
All sprightly like that?
You dance on your own
On your hind legs alone?” |
|
3.
|
Kumm,
lat uns tosam!
Ik kann as de Dam!
De Krei, de spelt Fitel,
Denn geit dat canditel,
Denn geit dat mal schön
Op de achtersten Been!« |
|
3.

“Come!
Let’s dance as a pair!
It’s a jolly affair.
You may lead. That’d be droll.
And the crow plays viol.
And we’ll dance to each tone
On our hind legs alone.” |

Lütt
Matten gev Pot.
De Voss beet em dot
Un sett sik in Schatten,
Verspis’ de lütt Matten:
De Krei, de kreeg een
Von de achtersten Been.
|

4. |
Little
Matt gave his paws,
But the fox gave his jaws.
In the shade he then sat
Devouring Li’l Matt,
And the crow? She got thrown
Of a hind leg a bone. |
