- Es en Schiev kapott,
Es ene Möllemmer fott,
Hät der Honk am Stätz en Dos:
Kütt ene Schutzmann aanjerannt,
Hät uns sechs dann usjeschand,
Sät: Wat maht ihr sechs dann bloß!- Is a pane broken,
Is a dustbin gone,
Is there a dog with a tin on its tail:
Then a constable comes running,
Scolds the six of us,
Says: What in the world are you six doing!
- Is a pane broken,
