Si la vites a la rana Asentada en la ventana Mundando una manzana Kon kuchiyo de oro I plata Tanye la kemane Suve la shirvane Di ke no eras tu Baila, asi bivas tu Si la vites al raton Asentado en el kanton Juando i jugeton Tanye… Si la vites a piojo Asentado en el pozo Aye topo su reposo Tanye…
If you see the frog
Sitting on the window
Peeling an apple
With a knife of gold and silver Play the violin
Go up to the loft
Say that it was not you
Dance, so you may live If you see the mouse
Sitting in the corner
Playing and playful Play... If you see the louse
Sitting by the well
Ah, there it finds its rest Play...
