The magpie has a nest;
The dove yet takes possession.
To the young bride departs,
In many-wheeled procession.
The magpie has a nest;
The dove yet there will quarter.
Lo! the young bride departs;
And countless cars escort her.
The magpie has a nest;
The dove will fit it (quickly).
Lo! the young bride departs,
With chariots mustered thickly.
The dove yet takes possession.
To the young bride departs,
In many-wheeled procession.
The magpie has a nest;
The dove yet there will quarter.
Lo! the young bride departs;
And countless cars escort her.
The magpie has a nest;
The dove will fit it (quickly).
Lo! the young bride departs,
With chariots mustered thickly.
