I‘m going out to clean the pasture spring;
I‘ll only stop to rake the leaves away
(And wait to watch the water clear, I may):
I sha‘n‘t be gone long.–You come too.

I‘m going out to fetch the little calf
That‘s standing by the mother. It‘s so young,
It totters when she licks it with her tongue.
I sha‘n‘t be gone long.–You come too.

翻譯：

我這就去清理牧場邊的水泉，
我停下來只為將枯葉扒干凈，
我或許會等著看泉水又變清：
我不會去太久??你也來吧。

我這就去把那牛娃子牽回來，
它站在媽媽身邊顯著小得很，
它走路還不穩，媽媽舔著它：
我不會去太久??你也來吧。
