Original text and translations

English text

Pretty little Madeleine,
Airy, fairy Queen of May,
Happy laughing Madeleine,
Beaming, mischief-loving fay.
Tiny feet, with merry twinkle,
Freely dancing all the day.
Dream thy baby flowers among,
Childhood’s hours are ne’er too long,
Sing, my birdie, Madeleiene!

Weary, little Madeleine,
Pink lids drooping o’er blue e’en,
Sleeping, dreaming Madeleine,
Sweeter cherub ne’er was seen.
Little head on pillow resting,
Sunning o’er in golden sheen.
Dream thy baby flowers among,
Childhood’s hours are ne’er too long,
Sing, my birdie, Madeleiene!
