Katzen
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG FRE
Ist das nicht ein schöner Scherz
Wenn der Kater in dem März
Suchet seine Frau?
Wenn er auf die Dächer springt,
Und sein lustig Liedel singt:
Mau, mau, miau.

Cats
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
It that not a lovely jest
When the tomcat in the month of March
Seeks his mate?
When he leaps onto the rooftops
And sings his merry song:
Mee, mee, meow.
