Tros Tros Trillie
This is a German nursery rhyme my mother always said to me:
Tros tros trillie
der bauer hatten ein fillie
das fillie kann net laufen
der Bauer wills verkaufen
der bauer musst besoffen
er legte es in einen Wagen
und ritten über den groben
Der Wagen fiel in einen Graben
Lauft das Fillie weg
Der Bauer fiel in den Dreck
Und auf der Katze
sagte die Katze meow, meow, meow
this is a translation of the
meaning not word for word
Tros tros trillie
the farmer had a pony
the pony could not run
the farmer wanted to sell it
the farmer must have been drunk
because he put the pony in a cart
and drove over a rough road
the cart fell in the trench
the pony ran away
the farmer fell in the dirt
and on the cat
the cat said meow, meow, meow.
