GOING TO TOWN
Isaac Taylor Headland translation
UP you go, down you see,
Here's a turnip for you and me,
Here's a pitcher, we'll go to town,
Oh, what a pity we've fallen down;
What do you see in the heavens bright?
I see the moon and the stars at night;
What do you see in the earth, pray tell?
I see in the earth a deep, deep well;
What do you see in the well, my dear?
I see a frog, and his voice I hear;
What is he saying there on the rock?
Get up, get up; ke'rh kua, ke'rh kua.
