Original text and translations

English text

Who comes knocking at my door?
“Let me in,” says Belle;
Ah! I've heard that voice before,
“Let me in,” says Belle.
“I will be so good and still;
Dear Papa, you know I will
Just a little corner fill,
Let me in,” says Belle.

So, I spoke the welcome word,
“Come in, little Belle,”
Then two tiny feet I heard,
“Here I come,” says Belle.
In there peeped a golden head,
Chubby face, with cheeks so red;
“Welcome, darling Belle,” I said,
“Here I come,” says Belle.

I was tired, and full of gloom
When you came, my Belle;
Dark and lonely seemed the room,
’Till you came, my Belle.
But your presence changed it quite,
In you brought a flood of light,
Made my study warm and bright,
Sunny little Belle.
