Frere Jacques

Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques,

Dormez vous? Dormez vous?

Sonnez les matines! Sonnez les matines!

Ding dang dong. Ding dang dong.

A man lying in bed with his eyes closed and yawning. There is a church visible out of a window above the bed.

Are you sleeping? Are you sleeping?

Brother John, Brother John,

Morning bells are ringing! Morning bells are ringing!

Ding dang dong. Ding dang dong.

The man dressed in orange robes, swinges on a bell rope below a large gold bell.
