Là nel bosco c'è una casetta
lo scoiattolo è alla finestra,
vien di corsa un leprottino
bussa al porton.
-Aiuto, aiuto, per carità!
C'è un cacciatore che mi vuol sparar.
-Vieni, vieni, leprottino,
dammi la tua man.
There in the woods there's a little house,
The squirrel is at his window,
A little hare comes running
And knocks at the door.
"Help, help, for pity's sake,
There's a hunter who wants to shoot me."
"Come, come, little hare,
Give me your hand."
