Waking in the round

[rolanni]

It's bad enough to wake up with one earworm. This morning, I have three.


Let's sing rounds!

¡Fray Felipe!¡Fray Felipe!
¿Duermes tú? ¿Duermes tú?
Tocan las campanas, Tocan las campanas
Tan, tan tan. Tan, tan, tan


Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques,
Dormez-vous? Dormez-vous?
Sonnez les matines! Sonnez les matines!
Ding, dang, dong. Ding, dang, dong.


Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John,
Morning bells are ringing, Morning bells are ringing.
Ding, dang, dong, Ding, dang, dong.

Bruder Jakob, Bruder Jakob,
schlaefst du noch, schlaefst du noch?
Hoerst du nicht die Glocken, hoerst du nicht die Glocken,
bim bam bong, bim bam bong.

That is the German version.
I am always fascinated by the different onomatopoetic sounds different languages use for what are essentially the same sounds (bell size and composition etc may vary, of course).

I was just thinking of this one!
