"Der Kuckuck Und Der Esel"

1. The cuckoo and the donkey,
They had an argument,
Who could sing the best,
During the month of Mai.

2. The cuckoo said: "I can (sing the best)!"
And began to sing out loud,
But I can do it better
Chimed in the donkey.

3. It sounded so lovely and touching,
So beautiful from close and far,
|: How they sang together,:|
|: Kuckuck, kuckuck, i-a! :|
