A version in Czech is:

Venku slunce zÃƒÂ¡řÃƒÂ,

Ty jsi na polÃ…Â¡tÃƒÂ¡ři,

VstÃƒÂ¡vej jiÃ…Â¾,

VstÃƒÂ¡vej jiÃ…Â¾.

Translation: Brother Jakob (or: James), / are you still sleeping? / The sun shines outside, and you are on your pillow. / Get up finally.

(There isn't any “ding-dang-dong” in this version!)

Another Czech version is:

Bratře Kubo, Bratře Kubo,

JeÃ…Â¡tě spÃƒÂÃ…Â¡, jeÃ…Â¡tě spÃƒÂÃ…Â¡?

In Danish

Mester Jakob,

HÃƒÂ¸rer du ej klokken?

Bim, bam, bum,

Bim, bam, bam.

Translation:

Master John, Master John

Are you sleeping?

DonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t you hear the bells?

Bim, bam, bum,

Bim, bam, bam.

In Dutch

A version in Dutch from the Netherlands:

Vader Jakob,

Slaapt gij nog?

Alle klokken luiden,

Bim bam bom,

Bim bam bom.

Another Dutch version is

Vader Jekke, Vader Jekke,

slaap je nog, slaap je nog,

alle klokken luiden, alle klokken luiden,

bim bam bom, bim bam bom

A slightly different Dutch version is:

Vader Jacob, vader Jacob, Slaap jij nog? Slaap jij nog? Alle klokken luiden, alle klokken luiden. Bim, bam, bom, bim, bam, bom

The version with “gij” appears to be more widespread than the version with “jij”, as “gij” is still used in Flanders.

Another Dutch version begins:

Broertje Jacob, broertje Jacob, slaap je nog, slaap je nog…

In Esperanto

A version in Esperanto is:

FratÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ Jakobo,

Ĉu en dormÃ¢â‚¬â„¢?

Iru sonorigu,

Bim, bam, bom…

Translation: Brother Jacob (or: James), / are you sleeping? / Go and ring. / Bim, bam, bom.

This version was popular before 1990 probably only in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, etc.

Another variation of the Esperanto version is:

Ĉu vi dormas,

Frato Jak'?

Bim, bam, bom…

Translation: Are you sleeping, / Brother Jacob (or: James)? /

This version comes from Norway (translation by Jon RÃƒÂ¸mmesmo).

A transliterated version of FrÃƒÂ¨re Jacques in Tagalog is:

Kuya Juan, Kuya Juan,

Natutulog ka pa? Natutulog ka pa?

Ding dang dong, ding dang dong.

In Finnish

A version in Finnish is:

Jaakko kulta,

HerÃƒÂ¤ÃƒÂ¤ jo,

HerÃƒÂ¤ÃƒÂ¤ jo.

Kellojasi soita,

Kellojasi soita.

Piu pau pou,

Piu pau pou.

Translation: Dear Jaakko, / wake up already. / Ring thy bells.

In the Finnish version, the question “are you sleeping?” is replaced with a command to wake up (“HerÃƒÂ¤ÃƒÂ¤ jo”).

A slightly different Finnish version (written in English orthography!):

Yacko Koolta, Yacko Koolta, / Herio, herio. / Kello yasa soita, kello yasa soita, / Pim pom pume, pim pom pume.

The only difference seems to be “Pim pom pume” instead of “Piu pau pou”. Maybe “Kellojasi soita” and “Kello yasa soita” are other grammatical forms or the second one is a mistake.

In German

The most common version in German is:

Bruder Jakob,

SchlÃƒÂ¤fst du noch?

HÃƒÂ¶rst du nicht die Glocken,

HÃƒÂ¶rst du nicht die Glocken?

Ding, dang, dong,

Ding, dang, dong.

Translation: Brother John, / are you still sleeping? / Don't you hear the bells? / Ding, dang, dong!

Here and in all the Germanic languages other than English and Dutch, the third line is changed from a command to ring the matins bells to a query, “Don't you hear the bells?”

Instead of “Bruder Jakob” it is also sung “Meister Jakob” (=Master James).

The title “Meister” can suggest an artisan / a craftsman. One theory is that these lyrics are referring to an artisan involved in church construction, travelling on the Way of St. James.

(see: “Les Enfants du MaÃƒÂ®tre Jacques” / Ã‚Â»Kinder von Meister JakobÃ‚Â« (=Master James' Children)

Another German version:

Bruder Jakob, Bruder Jakob, / SchlÃƒÂ¤fst Du noch? SchlÃƒÂ¤fst Du noch? / Morgenglocken lÃƒÂ¤uten, Morgenglocken lÃƒÂ¤uten. / Ding-dang-dong, ding-dang-dong.

Translation: Morgenglocken lÃƒÂ¤uten = Morning bells are ringing.

In the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century in Austria, this tune was commonly associated with lyrics referring to a “Bruder Martin” (=Brother Martin) and sung in a minor key (see: Gustav Mahler and his 1st Symphony).

In Hindi

A transliterated version of FrÃƒÂ¨re Jacques in Hindi is:

so rahe ho kya

bhai john?

jo soe pachtaaega,

In Hungarian

SzÃƒÂ³lnak a harangok.

Bim, bam, bom,

Bim, bam, bom.

Translation: Uncle (=Mister) John, / get up. / The bells are ringing. / Bim, bam, bom.

The Hungarian word “bÃƒÂ¡csi” means “uncle”, but it's a form generally used by Hungarians to turn to an older man (especially children to an adult man).

The Hungarian verb “keljen fel” is the imperative formal form (third person sg.) of the verb “felkel(ni)”.

In Indonesian

Bapak Jakob, Bapak Jakob,

In Italian

A version in Italian is:

FrÃƒÂ Martino,

Campanaro,

Dormi tu?

Suona le campane,

Din, don, dan,

Din, don, dan.

The name is completely changed (“Giacomo” would be the expected translation) and “Fra Martino”'s position as bell-ringer (“campanaro”) is made explicit.

Another Italian version is:

FrÃƒÂ Martino, campanaro,

cosa fai? Non dormir!

Suona il mattutino, suona il mattutino,

din, don, dan, din, don, dan!

FrÃƒÂ Martino, campanaro,

ÃƒÂ¨ di giÃƒÂ mezzodÃƒÂ¬!

Suona allegramente, suona allegramente,

din, don, dan, din, don, dan!

FrÃƒÂ Martino, quand'ÃƒÂ¨ sera,

Suona piano piano, ÃƒÂ¨ l'Ave Maria,

din, don, dan, din, don, dan!

FrÃƒÂ Martino, stai sognando,

di suonar, di suonar!

Tutte le campane, tutte le campane,

din, don, dan, din, don, dan!

FrÃƒÂ Martino, campanaro,

dormi tu? dormi tu?

Suona le campane, suona le campane,

din, don, dan, din, don, dan!

Translation: Brother Martin, bell-ringer, what are you doing? Don't sleep! Ring for the morning prayer/matins.

Brother Martin, bell-ringer, it's already the midday! Ring merrily!

Brother Martin, bell-ringer, where are you in the evening? Ring silently/softly, it's evening prayer (time)/vespers.

Brother Martin, you are dreaming now, that you are ringing all the bells!

Brother Martin, bell-ringer, are you sleeping? Ring the bells!

Another Italian version:

Fra Giovanni, Fra Giovanni, Dormi tu? Dormi tu? Suona la campana, suona la campana, Ding-dang-dong, ding-dang-dong!

In Japanese

Nemuino? Nemuino?

起きなさい、起きなさい。

朝の鐘が、鳴っているよ。

The above is a translation of the Latin verse.

In Japanese kindergarten and elementary schools, however, the following version is quite often sung:

Guu chokipaa de guu chokipaa de

Migite ga guu de

Hidarite ga paa de

Herikoputaa, herikoputaa

In Latin

A version in Latin:

Quare dormis,

O Iacobe,

Etiam nunc?

Resonant campanae,

Din din dan,

Din din dan.

Translation: Why are you sleeping, Jacob, / still now? / (The) bells are ringing. / Din din dan.

Another Latin version is:

O Iacobe, frater piger,

dormisne? dormisne?

Tinni Matutinum! Tinni Matutinum!

Tin tin tan, tin, tin, tan.

An alternate Latin version is:

Domne Jane, domne Jane / dormisne? Exsurge! / Omnes nolae sonant, omnes nolae sonant / Bim bam bum, bim bam bum.

In Norwegian

Fader Jakob,

Sover du?

HÃƒÂ¸rer du ei klokken?

Ding, dang, dong

Again, the imperative is replaced with “Can't you hear the bells?”. Also, Father is used instead of Brother, which appears to refer to a priest instead of a monk. See religion in Norway.

In Palikur

The FrÃƒÂ¨re Jacques song is in the Palikur language is entitled “Nab ba tek”.

In Papiamento

Ruman Jacobo,

Translation: Mister John, / get up in the morning. / All the bells are ringing. / Bim, bam, bom.

Another Polish version:

Panie Janie, Panie Janie,

pora wstać, pora wstać.

Wszystkie dzwony biją,

wszystkie dzwony biją.

Din don dan,

Translation: Mister John (2x) / time to get up (2x)/ All the bells are ringing (2x) / Din don dan (2x)

In Portuguese

A version in Portuguese is:

Por que dormes, irmÃƒÂ£ozinho?

Vem brincar, vem brincar!

Ouve o sininho, longe crepitando

Din din don, din din don

Another Portuguese version:

IrmÃƒÂ£o Jorge, irmÃƒÂ£o Jorge,

dorme tu, dorme tu?

JÃƒÂ¡ soam os sinos, jÃƒÂ¡ soam os sinos.

Ding dang dong, ding dang dong.

Another version in Portuguese is titled “IrmÃƒÂ£o Joaquim”.

Another Portuguese version:

In ProvenÃƒÂ§al

A version in Romanian:

Another Romanian version:

Tu dormi inca, tu dormi inca,

Frate Ioane, Frate Ioane?

Clopotelul suna, clopotelul suna.

Clinc clinc clinc, clinc clinc clinc.

In Russian

A version in Russian:

Брат Иван! Эй!

Спишь ли ты?

Звонят в колокольчик,

Динь-динь-динь,

Динь-динь-динь.

Translation: Brother Ivan, / are you sleeping? / The bell (or: a bell) is ringing. (Literally: They ring the bell (or: a bell).) / Din'-din'-din'.

Ivan is of course the Russian name for our “John”.

Transliteration:

Brat Ivan! Ei, Brat Ivan! Ei,

Spysh li ty? Spysh li ty?

Zvonjat v kolokol'chik,

Zvonjat v kolokol'chik:

Din' din' din', din' din' din!

This version is probably the best known in Europe because of the multilingual song “Alle wecken Bruder Jakob” (= All (the people) wake brother Jakob) which is sung by Rolf Zuckowski. The German musician gives concerts in many countries and sells there his CDs. The transliterated text can be found on an Italian web site.

A very similar (transliterated) Russian version is:

Brat Ivan, brat Ivan,

Spish' li ty, spish' li ty?

Zvoni v kolokola, zvoni v kolokola,

Din', din', din', din', din', din'

Which should be written in Russian:

Брат Иван,

Спишь ли ты?

Звони в колокола,

Динь-динь-динь,

Динь-динь-динь.

This version comes from the book: “Basic Russian: Book One” by Mischa A. Fayer (1985, p. 255 ). It isn't sure if this song is an original Russian song. It is also possible that the author has translated the English song for Americans (???) learning Russian.

The difference is “Звони в колокола” (=Ring the bell) instead of “Звонят в колокольчик” (=The bell (or: a bell) is ringing.) The next difference is that one syllable after the words “Brat Ivan” is missing. The first version with the interjection “Эй!” corresponds better with the tune.

Another Russian transliterated version is:

Bratets Jakow, bratets Jakow,

Spish li ti, spish li ti?

Slishish zwon na bashne, slishish zwon na bashne?

Ding dang dong, ding dang dong.

Which should be written in Russian:

Братец Иаков,

Спишь ли ты?

Слышишь звон на башне?

Дин-дан-дон,

Дин-дан-дон.

Translation: Brother Jacob (or: James), / are you sleeping? / Do you hear the bell on the tower? / Din-dan-don.

The name “Jacob” can be written in Russian as “Иаков” or “Яков”.

“Братец” means a “little brother”, but it dosn't mean the age or the growth. It's a familiar way of turning to a brother, e.g. a monk.

This transliterated version comes from a German multilingual songbook. It has been transliterated for English speaker, but the first word there is “bratez” instead of “bratets” - Germans read “z” as .)

Still another Russian version is:

Дядя Яков,

Что ты спишь?

Колокол ударил,

Дин-дон-дон,

Дин-дон-дон.

which can be transliterated as:

Diadia Iakov, Diadia Iakov,

Chto ty spish'? Chto ty spish'?

Kolokol udaril, kolokol udaril:

Din-don-don, din-don-don.

Translation: Uncle (or: Mister) Jacob (or: James), / why are you sleeping? / The bell has been rung. / Ding-Dang-Dong.

The Russian word “дядя” means “uncle”, but it's a form generally used by Russians to turn to an older man (especially children to an adult man).

This version also can take “Поп Мapтын” (=Pope Martin in English) as its subject. The word “поп” means a clergyman / priest in the Orthodox Church.

The person who has contributed both versions lives in America. It isn't sure if she has heard them in America or in Russia.

Another Russian version:

Aх, какoй жe,

Братец Иаков,

Ты лентяй, ты лентяй,

Если по неделе

Ты лежишь в постели,

Ай, ай, ай! Ай, ай, ай!

Как поднимем

Поскорее

Звон-трезвон,

Звон-тревон,

И заставим братца

Делом заниматься,

Дин дон дон,

Дин дон дон.

This is transliterated as:

Akh kakoi zhe, bratets Iakov,

Ty lentiai, ty lentiai,

Esli po nedele

Ty lezhish' v posteli

Ai, ai, ai! Ai, ai, ai!

Kak podnimem poskoree

Zvon-trezvon, zvon-trezvon,

I zastavim brattsa

Delom zanimat'sia.

Din don don, din don don.

Translation: Oh, how lazy are you, (little) brother Jacob (or: James), / if during the week / you're lying in your bed! / Oh, oh, oh!

We will soon raise / the bell-chimes, / and then make our (little) brother, / get to his work. / Ding Dang Dong.

Another version is:

Братец Яков

Спишь ли ты?

Ведь звонят к обедне,

Бим бам бом.

In Slovenian

Mojster Jaka, mojster Jaka,

al' Ã…Â¾e spiÃ…Â¡, al' Ã…Â¾e spiÃ…Â¡,

Al' ne sliÃ…Â¡iÃ…Â¡ zvona?

Bim, bam, bum. Bim, bam, bum.

In Spanish

A version in Spanish:

Ã‚Â¡Fray Felipe!

Ã‚Â¿Duermes tÃƒÂº?

Suenan las campanas,

Suenan las campanas.

Ã‚Â¡Ding, dang, dong!

Some dialects use “Tocan las campanas”

Another variation Spanish version is:

Ã‚Â¡Martinillo!

Ã‚Â¿DÃƒÂ³nde estÃƒÂ¡s?

Suenan las campanas,

Suenan las campanas.

Ã‚Â¡Din, don, dan!

While the first version is closer to the French, this version uses the same name (Martinillo) as the Italian. It also asks, not whether Martinillo is sleeping (“Ã‚Â¿Duermes tÃƒÂº?”), but where he is (“Ã‚Â¿DÃƒÂ³nde estÃƒÂ¡s? ”).

Other Spanish versions:

Fray Santiago, / Ã‚Â¿Duerme usted? / Ã‚Â¡Suenas las campanas! / Ã‚Â¡ Ding, dong, dan !

Fray Francisco, / Ã‚Â¿Duermes tÃƒÂº? / Ã‚Â¡Suena la campana! / Ã‚Â¡ Din, don, dan !

Panadero, / Ã‚Â¿Ya estÃƒÂ¡ el pan? / DÃƒÂ¡melo caliente. / Ding, dong, dang.

La lechuza, / hace Ã‚Â¡shh! / Todos calladitos, / por favor. (This version is the one sung by the owl, “La lechuza”, Dora and Boots on episode 204 of “Dora the Explorer” entitled “Something's missing”)

Ã‚Â¡Buenas dias! Ã‚Â¡Buenas dias! Ã‚Â¿Como estas? Ã‚Â¿Como estas? Ã‚Â¡Tocan las companas! Ã‚Â¡Tocan las companas! Ding-dang-dong! Ding-dang-dong!

Fray Felipe, Fray Felipe, Ã‚Â¿Duermes tu? Ã‚Â¿Duermes tu? Toca las companas, toca las companas, Ding dang dong, ding dang dong.

Fray Santiago, Fray Santiago,

Ã‚Â¿Duermes ya, duermes ya?

|: Suenan las campanas, :|

Din, don, dan; din, don, dan.

In Swahili

In Swedish

A version in Swedish is:

Broder Jakob,

Sover du?

HÃƒÂ¶r du inte klockan?

Ding, ding, dong

An alternative version exists, where “HÃƒÂ¶r du inte klockan?” (“Don't you hear the bell?”) is replaced with “Ring i dina klockor!” (“Ring your bells!”). The former is more common, however.

Another Swedish version:

Broder Jacob, broder Jacob

sover du, sover du?

|: VÃƒÂ¤ckarklockan ringer, :|

Ding dang dong, ding dang dong.

In Tamil

A transliterated version of FrÃƒÂ¨re Jacques in Tamil is:

Ding, Dong, Bell, Ding, Dong, Bell

Rough translation: Brother James, Are you sleeping? Sound the morning bells little one ! Ding Dong Bell.
