from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Žvirblytįs
Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) 
Išējo  tētušis, išzkūprino, 
Pučkelę prie šono, ten dyrino. 

Įstelgęs betupint pavilbino, 
Atlaužęs, žvirblytį nubildino. 

Parvežē brolyčiai, pargirgždino, 
Įvilko nuo rogių, įčiunčino. 

Nupešē dukrytēs, nudulkino; 
Iškepē mamužē, iščirškino,  

Iškepē žvirblytį, iščirškino, 
Įnešē sesytēs, įstyrijo. 

Įnešē žvirblytį, įstyrijo, 
Patastē ant stalo, parěplino. 

Susēdo svetyčiai, surioglino, 
Suvalgē žvirblytį, sutraškino.   

Bevalgant žvirblytį, betraškinant, 
Išmaukē aluko dvi pusbački.
