Schunava, ke baschno del a godla,
Schunava Paschomaskro.
Te del miro Dewel tumen
Dschavena Bachtallo.
Schunava opre to ruka
Chiriklo ke gillela:
Kamovela but dives,
Eh’me pale kamaveva.
Apo je wa’wer divesseste
Schunava pro gilaviben,
M’akana me avava,
Pro marzos, pro kuriben.
So korava kuribente,
So korava apre drom;
Me kanav miri romni,
So kamela la lakero rom.
DRANSLATION.
I hear de gock a growin!
I hear de musikant!
Gott gife dee a happy shourney
Vhen you go to a distand landt.
I hears oopon de pranches
A pird mit merry shdrain,
Goot many tays moost fanish
Ere I coom to dis blace again.
Oopon some oder tay-times
I’ll hear dat song from dee;
Boot now I goes ash soldier
To war, o’er de rollin sea.
Und vot I shdeals in pattle,
Und vot on de road I shdeal,
I’ll pring all to my true lofe
Who lofes her lofer so well.
(Charles Godfrey Leland)
