Our translations: CAT ENG FRE SPA

Ringel, ringel Reih'n!
Wer fröhlich ist, der schlinge sich ein!
Wer sorgen hat, der lass' sie daheim!
Wer ein liebes Liebchen küßt,
Wie glücklich der ist!
Ei, Hänsel, du hast ja kein's!
So suche dir ein's!
Ein schönes Liebchen, das ist was Fein's. Juchhe!

Ringel, ringel Reih'n!
Ei, Gretel, was stehst denn so allein?
Guckst doch hinüber zum Hänselein!?
Und ist doch der Mai so grün?
Und die Lüftelein zieh'n!
Ei, seht doch den dummen Hans!
Wie er rennet zum Tanz!
Er suchte eine Liebchen, Juchhe!
Er fand's! Juchhe!
Ringel, ringel Reih'n!

Hänsel y Gretel

Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)

Al corro, al corro!
El que sea feliz que se una!
El que tiene cuitas, que las deje en casa!
El que besa a una amada, 
¡Qué feliz es!
Ay, Hänsel, tú no tienes ninguna,
Ya te busco yo una, 
Una bella amada, eso es lo bueno. Yuhuu!

Al corro, al corro!
Ay, Gretel, por qué estás tan sola? 
¿Miras hacia otro lado, hacia Hanselín? 
¿Y bien, no está Mayo lo bastante verde? 
¡Y el aire arrastra!
Anda, mira al tonto de Hans!
Cómo se acerca al baile. 
Él buscaba a una amada, yuhu, 
¡Y la ha encontrado! Yuhuuu!!
Al corro, al corro.
