(From Dubring)
Translated by Ed Bernthal

Kukiz is a small place,
Kukiz is a small place,
Hm hm hm ha ha ha!
The great ruler died there.

Died the great ruler there,
Died the great ruler there,
Hm hm hm ha ha ha!
The shepherd gets to be ruler in that place.

He buys himself a “Borsdorfer,”
He buys himself a “Borsdorfer,”
Hm hm hm ha ha ha!
And puts her in a cloister.

She had good times there,
She had good times there,
Hm hm hm ha ha ha!
She was always laughing.

‘Be welcome here, shepherd!
Be welcome here, shepherd!
Hm hm hm ha ha ha!
Tell me what new thing you are bringing me.’

“I would like to be the judge in a court,
I would like to be the judge in a court,
Hm hm hm ha ha ha!
I could really torment the people”.

“Roll me behind the stove then,
Roll me behind the stove then,
Hm hm hm ha ha ha!
Stick his feet on it thereon.”

‘The gallows are already finished,
The gallows are already finished,
Hm hm hm ha ha ha!
You well deserved them, my son!’
