from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Loomine
Language: Estonian (Eesti keel) 
Our translations:  GER
Sinisirje linnukene,
sinisirje, kulde kirje
lendas meie koppelisse.

Kolm oli põesast koppelissa:
üks oli siine põesas,
teine oli punane põesas,
kolmas kullal kirjutatud.

Põlgas ta sinise põesa,
põlgas ta punase põesa,
võttis kulda armaaksi.

Hakkas ta pesa tegema.
Tegi kuu, tegi kaksi, 
tegi tüki kolmat kuuda,
nädaliku neljat kuuda,
viiendiku viiet kuuda.

Hakkas ta mune munema.
Munes kuu, munes kaksi,
munes kuu kolmat kuuda,
nädaliku neljat kuuda,
veerandiku viiet kuuda.

Hakkas poegi haudumaie.
Haudus kuu, haudus kaksi,
haudus kuu kolmat kuuda,
nädaliku neljat kuuda,
veerandiku viiet kuuda.

Üks sai kuuks Kuuramaale,
teine päevaks Pärnumaale,
kolmas ilmale imeksi,
neljas täheks taevaaksi,
viies vikerkaariks veeremaie.
