German to English: The tale of wicked Frederick General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - German Die Geschichte vom bösen Friedrich
Der Friederich , der Friederich,
Das war ein arger Wüterich !
Er fing die Fliegen in dem Haus
Und riß ihnen die Flügel aus.
Er schlug die Stühl' und Vögel tot,
Die Katzen litten große Not.
Und höre nur, wie bös er war:
Er peitschte, ach, sein Gretchen gar !
Am Brunnen stand ein großer Hund,
Trank Wasser dort mit seinem Mund.
Da mit der Peitsch' herzu sich schlich
Der bitterböse Friederich;
Und schlug den Hund, der heulte sehr,
Und trat und schlug ihn immer mehr.
Da biß der Hund ihn in das Bein,
Recht tief bis in das Blut hinein.
Der bitterböse Friederich,
Der schrie und weinte bitterlich. -
Jedoch nach Hause lief der Hund
Und trug die Peitsche in dem Mund.
Ins Bett muß Friedrich nun hinein,
Litt vielen Schmerz an seinem Bein;
Und der Doktor sitzt dabei
Und gibt ihm bitt're Arzenei.
Der Hund an Friedrichs Tischchen saß,
Wo er den großen Kuchen aß;
Aß auch die gute Leberwurst
Und trank den Wein für seinen Durst.
Die Peitsche hat er mitgebracht
Und nimmt sie sorglich sehr in acht.
Translation - English The tale of wicked Frederick
Now Frederick Roy’s a nasty boy
And a horrid brute was he.
He pulled the wings off flies and things
And laughed their pain to see.
He took a bat and beat the cat
But what was even worse
Than killing birds with cheerful words;
He even beat his nurse!
One day when out, a water spout
He happened to pass by.
A drinking dog, with mouth agog
Just there he did espy.
He grabbed a stick, our Frederick
And whipped the hapless hound
Which hoarsely howled and yelled and yowled
And cowered to the ground.
He laughed with glee, such pain to see
But then with teeth so quick
The dog bit deep, so blood did seep
And ran home with the stick.
Then how he wept as home he crept
And straight to bed was put
With potent brews and noxious stews
To ease his wounded foot.
The faithful hound meanwhile was bound
To sit at Frederick’s table.
He heaped his plate, and then he ate
As much as he was able.
The table groaned with roast beef (boned)
And wine and sausage thick.
But while he dined he paid good mind
And guarded well the stick.
