Language: German (Deutsch)
»Es ist ein Schuß gefallen,
Mein! sagt, wer schoß da drauß?«

Die machen viel Verdruß.
Zwei Spatzen und ein Schneider
Die fielen von dem Schuß;
Die Spatzen von den Schroten,
Der Schneider von dem Schreck;
Die Spatzen in die Schoten,

Just now I heard a gunshot!
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
"Just now I heard a gunshot!
What could it be? Oh, my!"
It was a thoughtless hunter,
Whose gun went off nearby.
The sparrows in the garden
Were quite the hunter's prey.
Two sparrows and a tailor
Dropped over then, that day.
The sparrows fell from buckshot,
The tailor dropped with fright;
The birds fell in the laundry,
The tailor? A schmutzig sight!
