Well, actually, in my language (dutch) it's (from the dictionary) a little earthman, something like a dwarf. I think kabouters only exist in fairy-tales

Damn!!! That's r_pigeon or r_earthman!!! OMG but I love my screen name...

So, what's the correct pronumciation of kabouter then? ka-baw-tr or ka-bu-tr or ka-bo-u-tr? I hope it's the second one...

Here it's in the dictionary:

r_kabouter: A rare breed of annoying organisms that habitat internet forums and chat rooms. r_kabouters are very determined to get attention and enjoy mostly talking about thier name...

EDIT: hehe...I hope you see i'm joking...and you aren't annoying

Lol, Magellan Studios, maybe you are right. For it's the theme of a children-programm on TV around here.

But even adults dance on that song on parties here ... so we all need help

Say com-pu-ter 20 times fast and eventually you'll end up with
ka-bou-ter.

So r_kabouter really means, "our computer".

Hahaha, I made a funny.

Quote: "Iedereen goed opgelet
Want dit is je grote kans
Luister goed na wat ik zeg
Want hier komt de kabouterdans
Elke jongen kiest nu eerst een kaboutermeisje uit
Neem haar vast bij de hand en doe een stap vooruit

Kom Kwebbeltje
Geef me maar een hand
Oh ja Klus
He zeg ik wil met Kwebbel dansen
Ah nee zeg ik was eerst’ zoek jij maar een ander kaboutermeisje
Maar hier zijn geen andere kaboutermeisjes
Ik zal is iets zeggen he Lui
Jij mag straks met mij dansen
Daar gaan we

Draai een keer in het rond
Stamp met je voeten op de grond
Zwaai je armen in de lucht
Ga nu zitten met een zucht
Stap nu rond als een gans
Zo gaat de kabouterdans

Kom Lui jij mag nu met mij dansen
Dansen’ ik word daar zo moe van van dansen
Ik dans niet meer mee
Ik ga slapen

Ja dat ging al reuze goed
Maar we zijn nog lang niet klaar
Wij doen gewoon die dans opnieuw
Maar 2x na elkaar

Draai een keer in het rond
Stap met je voeten op de grond
Zwaai je armen in de lucht
Ga nu zitten met een zucht
Stamp nu rond als een gans
Zo gaat de kabouterdans


Zeg Kwebbeltje
Vind je niet dat ik mooi kan dansen
Ja dat is normaal he
Ah ja he
Ik ben als het ware de beste danser van heel het kabouterdorp

Jullie dansen echt heel mooi
Ploppetjes geloof me maar
Daarom doen we t nog een keer
Nu 3x na elkaar

Draai een keer in het rond
Stamp met je voeten op de grond
Zwaai je armen in de lucht
Ga nu zitten met een zucht
Stap nu rond als een gans
Zo gaat de kabouterdans
"

I tryed singing along but people saw me.

PS. I'm writting this from a rubber room.

OMG, there's even a gay song about it... I can't read that, whatever language it is, so I can't sing along. haha.

I'm downloading the song off iMesh. This i HAVE to hear.

edit: Got it. Found it off a website, but I'm not sure if it's legal so I'm not posting a link. It is scarily catchy, even if I can't follow the lyrics... Can someone translate it, if it's not too much trouble?

Quote: "Iedereen well paid attention because this is you large chance lustre well after what I say because here the gnome dancing comes each boy chooses now firstly a gnome little girl from takes its fixed at the hand and do a step ahead Bowl Kwebbeltje gives me but a hand Oh yes klus He says I wants with kwebbel dance Ah no says I was firstly zoek you but a another gnome little girl but here is none other kaboutermeisjes I something to say he lazy you can dance soon with me to go there we Turn a time in around stamp with your feet on the ground sways you poor in air goes around now to sit with a sigh step now if a goose goes this way the gnome dancing Bowl lazy you can dance now with me dancing dancing I become with that this way tired I no longer dance I will sleep Yes that went already reuze well but we are still long not ready we do simply that dancing again but 2x after each other Turn a time in around step with your feet on the ground sways you poor in air goes around now to sit with a sigh stamp now if a goose goes this way the gnome dancing Do not say Kwebbeltje find you that I can dance nicely yes that am normal he Ah yes he I am as it were the best dancer of very the gnome village You dance really complete beautiful Ploppetjes belief me but for this reason we do t again now 3x after each other Turn a time in around stamp with your feet on the ground sways you poor in air goes around now to sit with a sigh step now if a goose goes this way the gnome dancing

It talks about gnomes and stuff so it can't be far off.

Here is the link if you want to try it yourself: Babel Fish
