t e x ts and t r ans lations
“There Stands a Little Man in the Woods Alone”
Gretel
There stands a little man looking like a clown,
He wears a little cape made of velvet brown,
Tell me who the man can be, standing there beneath the tree,
With the little cape made of velvet brown?
His hair is all of gold, and his cheeks are red,
He wears a little black cap upon his head,
Tell me who the man can be, standing there so silently,
With the little black cap upon his head?
Hansel
Hurrah! My basket’s practic’lly filled already!
This ought to make mother very happy.
Gretel
And how do you like my flowers?
Look, you never saw such a lovely wreath.
Hansel
You won’t catch a boy wearing that!
Only a girl would wear such a thing.
Ha, Gretel, those flowers . . . You are grand!
Now you shall be queen of the wood!
Gretel
If I’m to be queen of the wood,
Then I must have my arms full of flow’rs.
Hansel
Queen of the wood, with sceptre and crown,
I give you strawberries, but don’t eat them all!
Cuckoo, cuckoo, how are you?
Gretel
Cuckoo, cuckoo, where are you?
Hansel
O-ho! I can do that just like you!
Let us do like the cuckoo too,
Who takes more than he ought to do.
In your neighbor’s nest you go,
Cuckoo, why do you do so?
Gretel
And you’re very greedy too,
Tell me, cuckoo, why are you?
Hansel, what have you done? You’re awful!
All the strawberries eaten, you glutton!
Listen, you know what Mother said!
She’ll whip us. I’ll tell what you’ve done.
4
t e x ts and t r ans lations
Hansel
You can’t put the blame all on me.
You, Gretel, ate just as many as me!
Gretel
Now we’ll have to pick twice as many.
Hansel
We’ll have quite a job in these hedges and bushes.
I can’t see a thing, just trees and forest!
The sun’s gone down, it’s getting dark.
Gretel
O Hansel, Hansel, O what shall we do? What bad, disobedient children we’ve been!
We ought to have thought and gone home sooner!
Hansel
Listen, it’s a noise in the bushes! I heard what the forest said:
“Children, children,” it says, “are you not afraid?” Gretel, I don’t know where we are.
Gretel
O dear, but Hansel—you mean we’re lost?
Hansel
Why how ridiculous you are! I am a boy, I’m never lost.
Gretel
O Hansel, some dreadful thing may come!
Hansel
Now Gretel, please don’t be afraid!
Sandman
I shut the children’s peepers, sh!
And guard the little sleepers, sh!
For dearly do I love them, sh!
And gladly watch above them, sh!
And with my little bag of sand
Beside the children’s bed I stand;
Then little, sleepy eyelids close,
And little limbs have sweet repose.
And if they’re good and quickly go to sleep,
Then from the starry sky above,
The angels come with peace and love,
And bring the children happy dreams, while watch they keep!
Then slumber, slumber, children, slumber,
for happy dreams will come to you the hours you sleep!
Hansel
Sandman was there!
Gretel
Let us first say our evening prayer.
Hansel and Gretel
When at night I go to sleep, fourteen angels watch do keep,
Two my head are guarding, two my feet are guiding,
Two are on my right hand, two are on my left hand,
Two who warmly cover, two who o’er me hover,
Two to whom ‘tis given to guide my steps to Heaven.
