Translation
She is ours, she is ours
Our little daughter in law
Two two twelve
I kiss her mouth
Her mouth is made of silver
she has to be shot
Make way children,
let the old man dance
When the old man dances
he taps on for twenty one days.
I’ll slap away at my boot-legs,
That you’ll hear it even in the morning.
Oh let me die
If I don’t tell the truth
She is ours, she is ours
Our little daughter in law
