Aunt Rhody - Burl Ives translation in German

Aunt Rhody

AUNT RHODY
Go tell Aunt Rhody, go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody that the old gray goose is dead.
The one she's been saving to make a feather bed.
The old gander's weeping, because his wife is dead.
The goslings are mourning, because their mother's dead.
She died in the mill pond from standing on her head.
Go tell Aunt Rhody that the old gray goose is dead.

Traditional, from old France. Some say the philosopher Rousseau
had a hand in its making.

Tante Rhody

TANTE RHODY
Geh, sag Tante Rhody, geh, sag Tante Rhody,
Geh, sag Tante Rhody, dass die alte graue Gans tot ist.
Die, die sie aufgehoben hat, um ein Federbett zu machen.
Der alte Gänserich weint, weil seine Frau tot ist.
Die Gössel trauern, weil ihre Mutter tot ist.
Sie starb im Mühlenteich, weil sie auf dem Kopf stand.
Geh, sag Tante Rhody, dass die alte graue Gans tot ist.

Traditionell, aus dem alten Frankreich. Manche sagen, der Philosoph Rousseau
an ihrer Entstehung beteiligt war.
