from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Eduard (Karol Samuel) Gisevius (1798 - 1880)

Oro pilis
Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) 
Aš pamačiau zylutę
Per kalnelį atlekiant. 

CHORUS
 Dalidamdam,
 La la la la la,
 Ciųcių liliu apapa!

Šilguolį dabar kraujas,
Aukso kiaušį bededąs.
 (CHORUS)

Aš tą kiaušį tetužiui,
Man tetužis žirgužį.
 (CHORUS)

Aš tą žirgą pilionui,
Man pilionas pilužę.
 (CHORUS)

Aplink pilį vargonai,
Vidur' pilies cimbolai.
 (CHORUS)

Ir sulaužė vargonus,
Ir sukūlė cimbolus.
 (CHORUS)

Spėliok, bernyti, šokimui,
Vainikuota šok, mergyt.
 (CHORUS)

Jüngst sah ich ein Vöglein schön
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) 
Jüngst sah ich ein Vöglein schön,
Das kam her von fernen Höh'n.
CHORUS
 Dalidamdam!
 La la la la la!
 Czu czu lillu apapa!

Baut ein seiden Nest sich fein,
Legt ein golden Ei hinein.
 (CHORUS)

Gleich nahm ich das Ei so werth,
Gab's dem Vater für ein Pferd.
 (CHORUS)

Bracht' dem Schloßherrn gleich das Roß
Und erhielt sein stattlich Schloß.
 (CHORUS)

Rund um's Schloß tönt Orgelsang,
Und im Saal schallt Zimbelklang.
 (CHORUS)

Zimbel, Orgel schön und hehr;
Alles Traum, es tönt nichts mehr.
 (CHORUS)

Spiel' drum, Liebster, frisch zum Tanz,
Mädchen hüpf' im Rautenkranz!
 (CHORUS)
