Original Dutch English Translation

Ik vlieg, ik waggel en ik zwem,
ik kwek voor jou en ik kwak voor haar
ik snater heel wat bij elkaar
en als jij een liedje voor me zingt
dan plons dan duik ik en dan zwem
ik wat voor hem.
Spetter, pieter, pater,
lekker in het water
ga maar vast naar huis,
ik kom een druppel later.

1. DE EIEREN

Breed Rietland.
De winter is voorbij,
de eerste knoppen komen uit,
dieren worden wakker uit hun winterslaap,
een stille landweg.
Henk de Mol steekt zijn hoofd verbaasd uit zijn molshoop omhoog,
Een auto raast over hem heen.
Henk kan zich op het nippertje terug trekken.
Vogels beginnen aan het bouwen van nesten,
lammetjes dartelen door de wei.
Twee landmeters, de reigers Stip en Stap,
zijn druk in de weer met het meten van de polder.
Johan Kwak wordt verliefd op Anna van de Polder,
een dartele eend,
die door twee vechtende woerden in het nauw wordt gedreven.
Johan bevrijdt Anna,
nadat hij de twee kemphanen uit elkaar heeft gedreven
Johan zingt een liefdesliesje.
Ze vrijen,
ze trouwen
ze bouwen in een oude klomp een prachtig nest
en Anna legt,
niet eens zo heel veel later,
zeven perfecte eieren.
Anna kan haar geluk niet op,
Johan is de koning te rijk,
maar gevaar loert aan alle kanten.
Schor de kraai probeert een ei te stelen,
Snel de Snoek kaapt zelf een ei,
maar Johan weet het terug te veroveren.
In het kantoor van bouwonderneming Bart Beton Bever B.V.
bestuderen de heren A. Rokodil en O. Nijlpaard
hun nieuwe bouwproject.
En dan, op een mooie morgen
begint er een ei te bewegen.
Johan en Anna kijken verbaasd to en zien>
hoe het ei er op twee pootjes als een haas vandoor gaat.
Een wilde achtervolging volgt.
Johan verliest het ei uit het oog
en het ei zoekt zijn weg door naar Breed Rietland,
niet onopgemerkt door Rap de Kiekedief,
die nog nooit zo'n vreemd ding heeft gezien.
Is het een ei dat loopt, of een kuiken in een ei ?
De Kiekedief is niet zeker van zijn zaak
en probeert in het ei te prikken en,
inderdaad het is een kuiken in een ei.

 I fly, I waddle and I swim,'

I quack for you and I quack for her
I quack[note 1] quite a bit
and if you sing me a song
I'll splash, I'll dive, and I'll swim
a little for him.
Splash, pitter, patter,
enjoying the water
go on back home,
I'll be a drop later.

1. THE EGGS

Breed Rietland.
Winter is over,
the first buds are blooming,
animals awaken from their winter sleep,
a quiet country road.
Henk de Mol pokes his head up in surprise from his molehill,
A car rushes over him.
Henk manages to pull back just in time.
Birds start building nests,
lambs frolic in the meadow.
Two surveyors, the herons Stip and Stap,
are busy measuring the polder.
Johan Kwak falls in love with Anna van de Polder,
a lively duck,
who is being cornered by two fighting drakes.
Johan rescues Anna,
after driving the two brawlers[note 2] apart.
Johan sings a love song.
They make love,
they marry,
they build a beautiful nest in an old clog
and Anna lays,
not too long after,
seven perfect eggs.
Anna is overjoyed,
Johan is as happy as a king,
but danger lurks everywhere.
Schor de Kraai tries to steal an egg,
Snel de Snoek even snatches one,
but Johan manages to reclaim it.
In the office of construction company Bart Beton Bever Ltd.
Mr. A. Crocodile and O. Hippopotamus are studying
their new construction project.
And then, on a fine morning
an egg starts to move.
Johan and Anna watch in amazement and see
how the egg scurries away on two little legs.
A wild chase ensues.
Johan loses sight of the egg
and the egg finds its way through Breed Rietland,
not unnoticed by Rap de Kiekedief,
who has never seen such a strange thing.
Is it an egg that walks, or a chick inside an egg?
The Kiekedief is unsure
and tries to poke the egg and,
indeed, it is a chick inside an egg.

Notes

  1. ↑ In Dutch, "Snateren" means to talk a lot or to quack.
  2. ↑ In Dutch, a "Kemphaan" is somehow who likes to enter into discussion, but literally it's also a bird, belonging to the order of waders, and the size of an ordinary turtledove.
