Bei den Tauben

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: ENG

Guckediru!
Ruckedigu!
Siehst du im Schlag den Tauben zu?

Der Täuber flog auf Nahrung aus;
das Täubchen saß und hütete
die Eierchen und brütete.

Nun bringt er frishes Korn nach Haus
und küßt sein Weibchen: Trutste Fru,
bist du mir gut? Ruckedigu!

With the pigeons

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Cooroockdooroo!
Roocoodooroo!
Are you watching the pigeons in their cot?

The cock pigeon flew out to fetch food;
the hen pigeon sat and watched over
the little eggs and incubated them.

Now he is bringing fresh wheat back home
And he kisses his little wife: Most faithful mate,
are you fond of me? Roocoodooroo!
