Kurkje

Kurkje

ik ben een heel klein kurkje
ik ben een heel klein kurkje
je moet me redden
ik heb een wenkbrauw van stroop
ik heb een wenkbrauw van zout
ik mag mij niet bewegen anders
valt de wenkbrauw van mijn hoofd
ik ben een heel klein kurkje

Cork

I am a little cork
I am a little cork
you have to save me
I have a brow of treacle
I have a brow of salt
I mustn’t move ‘cause if I did
my face would drop its brow
I am a little cork

Translation: David Colmer

Bouchon

je suis un tout petit bouchon
je suis un tout petit bouchon
il vous faut me sauver
j’ai un sourcil en mélasse
j’ai un sourcil en sel
si jamais je bouge
le sourcil tombe de ma tête
je suis un tout petit bouchon
