En el mar, hay un pescado, que tiene las puntas verdes, en este pueblo hay un mozo, que todas las mozas quiere. En el río en el río, lavando, en el río, me ha dicho un soldado: Si quieres venir conmigo, te montaré en mi caballo, si quieres venir conmigo, te montaré en mi caballo. Yo le dije: ni quiero ni puedo.

Dans la mer, il y a un poisson, qui a des taches vertes, dans cette ville il y a un jeune homme qui veut toutes les filles. Dans la rivière, dans la rivière, je lavais, dans la rivière, un soldat m'a dit : Si tu veux venir avec moi, Je te monte sur mon cheval, si tu veux venir avec moi, je te monte sur mon cheval. Je lui dis : je ne veux pas et ne peux pas.
