When that I was and a little tiny boy
Language:
English
When that I was and a little tiny boy,
[With]1 hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day.
But when I came to man's estate,
[With]1 hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
'Gainst knaves and thieves men shut their gate,
For the rain it raineth every day.
[ But when I came, alas! to wive,
[With]1 hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
By swaggering could I never thrive,
For the rain it raineth every day.]2
[ But when I came unto my beds,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
With toss-pots still had drunken heads,
For the rain it raineth every day.]3
A great while ago the world [begun]4,
[With]1 hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
But that's all one, our play is done,
And we'll strive to please you every day.

Dengang jeg var kun saa stor som saa
Language:
Danish
Dengang jeg var kun saa stor som saa,
Hei Hopsa, hei Hopsa i Regn og i Blæst!
da va og mine Skjelmstykker smaa;
for Regnen, den regner, hver evige Dag.
Men da jeg blev Karl oglang og før,
Hei Hopsa, hei Hopsa i Regn og i Blæst!
for Skjelmen Hvermand stænged sin Dør;
for Regnen, den regner, hver evige Dag.
Og ak da jeg fik mig en Aegteviv,
Hei Hopsa, hei Hopsa i Regn og i Blæst!
Da gik det galt med mit flotte Liv;
for Regnen, den regner, hver evige Dag.
Og hvergang jeg vilde til Sengen gaae,
Hei Hopsa, hei Hopsa i Regn og i Blæst!
da havde jeg altid en Blyhat paa;
for Regnen, den regner, hver evige Dag.
