Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp / Aladdin og den Fantastiske Lampen

Once upon a time there lived a poor tailor

Det var en gang en fattig skredder

this poor tailor had a son called Aladdin

denne stakkars skredderen hadde en sønn som het Aladdin

Aladdin was a careless, idle boy who did nothing

Aladdin var en uforsiktig, ledig gutt som ikke gjorde noe

although, he did like to play ball all day long

selv om han likte å spille ball hele dagen lang

this he did in the streets with other little idle boys

dette gjorde han i gatene sammen med andre små ledige gutter

This so grieved the father that he died

Dette sørget faren så mye at han døde

his mother cried and prayed, but nothing helped

moren hans gråt og ba, men ingenting hjalp

despite her pleading, Aladdin did not mend his ways

til tross for at hun bønnfalt, satte ikke Aladdin opp sine måter
