Kuh
Language: German (Deutsch)
Eine Kuh, die saß in Schwalbennest,
Mit sieben jungen Ziegen,
Die feierten ihr Jubelfest
Und fingen an zu fliegen,
Der Esel zog Pantoffeln an,
Ist übers Haus geflogen,
Und wenn das nicht die Wahrheit ist,
So ist es doch gelogen.

Cow
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
A cow, that sat in a swallow's nest,
With seven young goats,
Celebrated her anniversary
And began to fly.
The donkey has pulled up his pants,
And flown over the house,
And if that isn't the truth,
Then someone surely is lying.
