Frere Jaques, Frere Jaques,
Dormez vouz? Dormez vouz?
Sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines,
Ding, dong, ding. (rep.)

Bruder Jacob, Bruder Jacob,
Schlafst du noch? Schlafst du noch?
Morgen glocken leuten,
Morgen glocken leuten,
Bim. bam, bum, (rep.)

Are you sleeping, are you sleeping,
Brother John, Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing,
Morning bells are ringing,
Ding, dong, ding. (rep.)

(all together)
