Lyrics
Original (French)
Frère Jacques,
Frère Jacques,
Dormez vous?
Dormez vous?
Sonnez les matines,
Sonnez les matines,
Din, din, don!
Din, din, don!
English translation
Brother Jack,
Brother Jack,
Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
Ring the morning bells,
Ring the morning bells,
Ding, Ding, Dong!
Ding, Ding, Dong!
- There is also an English language version of the song; Jacques is translated as John, the first and second lines are switched, while the other lines are adapted as Morning Bells are Ringing instead of Ring the Morning Bells (imperative)
