Hänsel (dancing).
With your hands you clap, clap, clap!
With your foot you tap, tap, tap!
Right foot first,
Left foot then,
Round about and back again.
Gretel. That is fine, brotherkin! Soon you will dance as well as I. Come, try again.
With your head you nick, nick, nick!
With your fingers click, click, click!
Right foot first,
Left foot then,
Round about and back again.
Hänsel.
O Gretel dear, O sister dear,
Come dance and sing with me.
Gretel.
O Hänsel dear, O brother dear,
Come dance and sing with me.
Tra, la, la, tra, la, la,
La, la, la, la, tra, la, la.
[Knocks down the milk.]
