Wolf, Fox, and Hare

[Pirka]

I love this song, a Scandinavian ditty, and it's simple enough to translate. If you want, you can be flexible with the translation so that it sounds nice out loud, but you can shoot for a literal translation if you want.

Jag så en ulv, en ræv, en hare,
Jag så dem dansen alle tre.
Midt i vinterens kolde sne,
Så jag en ulv, en ræv, en hare.
Midt i vinterens kolde sne,
Så jag dem dansen alle tre.
Literal: I saw a wolf, a fox, and a hare,
I saw all three of them dancing.
In the winter's cold snow,
I saw a wolf, a fox, and a hare.
In the winter's cold snow,
I saw all three of them dancing.
Rhyming: I saw a wolf, a fox, and a hare,
I saw them dancing in a row.
In the winter's coldë snow,
I saw a wolf, a fox, and a hare.
In the winter's coldë snow,
I saw them dancing in a row.

Iambic: Geahčadin gumppe, rieb'na, njoamm'la,
Geahčadin dánsot golmmas buot.
Buolaš(in) dálvvi muohttagis,
Geahčadin gumppe, rieb'na, njoamm'la.
Buolaš(in) dálvvi muohttagis,
Geahčadin dánsot golmmas buot.

Rhyming: Видел волка, лису и зайца,
Видел я, как пляшут все.
На зимнем холодном снежке
Видел волка, лису и зайца.
На зимнем холодном снежке
Видел я, как пляшут все.

The french cajun version ?
Chorus :
J'ai vu le loup, le renard et la belette
J'ai vu le loup et le renard danser
J'ai vu le loup, le renard et la belette
J'ai vu le loup et le renard danser

Je les ai vue taper leurs mains
Je les ai vue taper leurs mains
Je les ai vue taper leurs pieds
Je les ai vue taper leurs pieds

(Chorus 2x)

Je les ai vue qu'ils s’embrassaient
Je les ai vue qu'ils s’embrassaient
Je les ai vue qu'ils se caressaient
Je les ai vue qu'ils se caressaient

(Chorus 2x)

Je les ai vue avec une enfant
Je les ai vue avec une enfant
Merci bon dieu c'était pas la mienne
Merci bon dieu c'était pas la mienne

As far as I know, this song is most likely of French Celtic origin, and was rendered popular under the name "La Jument de Michao" by the band Tri Yann in 1976, and later adapted and repopularized by the band Manau under the name "Mais qui est la belette ?" in 1998, and more recently by the singer Nolwenn Leroy (2010) using the same title as Tri Yann, among a few others.

The biggest difference stems in the refrain, where the verb used is "to hear" rather than "to see", "to sing" rather than "to dance", and the hare is replaced by a weasel:

J'entends le loup, le renard et la belette.
J'entends le loup et le renard chanter.
J'entends le loup, le renard et la belette.
J'entends le loup et le renard chanter

There's also the version called "J'ai vu le loup" or "J'ai vu le loup, le renard, le lièvre/la belette", which is more in tune with the Skandinavian version (e.g. Club Renaissance), though different rhythms, lyrics, and styles exist. Two other examples of the refrain include:

J'ai vu le loup, le renard, le lièvre,
J'ai vu le loup, le renard cheuler.
C'est moi-même qui les ai rebeuillés.
J'ai vu le loup, le renard, le lièvre,
C'est moi-même qui les ai rebeuillés.
J'ai vu le loup, le renard cheuler.

J'ai vu le loup, le renard, le lièvre
J'ai vu le loup, le renard passer
