Sagga‑lieder
Language: German (Deutsch)
Af dar Höch, sagga,
Steht a Reh, sagga,
Schiaß i auffi, sagga,
Fallt's a he.
In Berlin, sagt' er,
Mußt du fein, sagt' er,
Und geschiet, sagt' er,
Mußt du sein, sagt' er,
Denn da habens, sagt' er,
Viel Verstand, sagt' er,
Ich bin dort, sagt' er,
Schon bekannt.

Said‑he songs
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
There in the heights, said he,
Stood a buck, said he,
That I shot at, said he,
And felled it.
In Berlin, said he,
You'll do fine, said he,
And to shine, said he,
You must be there, said he,
That you may have, said he,
Much understanding, said he,
I am there, said he,
Already well-known.
