Itsy Bitsy Spider

Questa è una delle filastrocche favorite dalla mia piccola Matilde. Ne ho tre versioni. In inglese: una corta e l'altra lunga. E poi una terza versione in lingua svedese, che mi ha mandato Francesca (8 settembre 2000).

Prima versione

The Itsy Bitsy Spider went up the water spout.
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
and Itsy Bitsy Spider went up the spout again.

Seconda versione

The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the waterspout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the spout again

The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the kitchen wall
Swoosh! went the fan 
And made the spider fall
Off went the fan
No longer did it blow
So the itsy bitsy spider
Back up the wall did go

The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the yellow pail
In came a mouse
And flicked her with his tail
Down fell the spider
The mouse ran out the door
Then the itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the pail once more

The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the rocking chair
Up jumped a cat
And knocked her in the air
Down plopped the cat
And when he was asleep
The itsy bitsy spider
Back up the chair did creep

The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up the maple tree
She slipped on some dew
And landed next to me
Out came the sun
And when the tree was dry
The itsy bitsy spider
Gave it one more try

The itsy bitsy spider
Climbed up without a stop
She spun a silky web
Right at the very top
She wove and she spun
And when her web was done
The itsy bitsy spider
Rested in the sun

Terza versione

Imse vimse spindel
klättrar up på tråd

ner faller regnet
spolar spindeln bort

Upp skiner solen
torkar bort allt regn

Imse vimse spindel
klättrar uppigen!
