Suuri Lalula
Language: Finnish (Suomi) after the German (Deutsch)
Ei tätä voi kääntää,
tästä pitää vain nauttia.
Morgensternin huikeat kielelliset fantasiat
hakevat vertaistaan...
Lalu lalu lalu lalu la!
Jotain vastaavaa
löytyy varmaan kaikilta kielialueilta,
entten, tentten, teelikamentten,
esimerkiksi, ja onhan niitä.
Lalu lalu lalu lalu la!
Harvoin kuitenkaan
tapaa näin mestarillista vääntelyä, siansaksaa.
Äännä saksan säännöillä,
slaavilaisuuttakin tässä kyllä vilahtaa.
Lalu lalu lalu lalu la!
