Den Gang Ørnen var flyveklar, raabte alle: Du er en Nar! Da den steg over Taarnets Top, sendte de deres Drager op. Stærk er Ørnen, bred dens Vinge, Had er stærkest. Den Gang Ørnen stod højt i Sky, fik dens Vinge en Ladning Bly, mens de Drager af tyndt Papir gik tilvejrs over Stadens Spir. Stærk er Ørnen, bred dens Vinge, Had er stærkest. Den Gang Ørnen faldt ned fra Sky, lød et Skrig i den hele By. Ingen Smerte var i den Lyd, alle skreg de af Skadefryd. Stærk er Ørnen, bred dens Vinge, Had er stærkest.

Le jour où l'aigle était prêt à voler, tous s'écrièrent : « tu es fou ! » Quand il s'éleva au-dessus de la tour, ils lancèrent leurs cerfs-volant. L'aigle est fort, larges ses ailes. La haine est la plus forte. Le jour où l'aigle planait haut dans le ciel, il reçut dans l'aile une décharge de plomb. Tandis que les cerfs-volant de fin papier montaient au dessus du clocher de la ville. L'aigle est fort, larges ses ailes. La haine est la plus forte. Le jour où l'aigle tomba du ciel, une clameur s'éleva dans toute la ville. Il n'y avait pas d'affliction dans ce cri, c'était de joie maligne que tous criaient. L'aigle est fort, larges ses ailes. La haine est la plus forte.
