Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp / Aladin in čudovita svetilka

Once upon a time there lived a poor tailor

Nekoč je zivel reven krojač

this poor tailor had a son called Aladdin

ta ubogi krojač je imel sina Aladina

Aladdin was a careless, idle boy who did nothing

Aladin je bil brezbrizen, brezdelen fant, ki ni naredil ničesar

although, he did like to play ball all day long

čeprav se je rad ves dan igral z zogo

this he did in the streets with other little idle boys

to je počel na ulicah z drugimi malimi brezdelnimi dečki

This so grieved the father that he died

To je očeta tako razzalostilo, da je umrl

his mother cried and prayed, but nothing helped

mati je jokala in molila, a nič ni pomagalo

despite her pleading, Aladdin did not mend his ways

kljub njenemu prigovarjanju se Aladin ni popravil
