| Drowned Maid (original) | Drowned Maid (traducción) |
|---|---|
| I went to wash at the shore | fui a lavarme a la orilla |
| I went to bathe in the sea | fui a bañarme al mar |
| And there I, a hen, was lost | Y allí yo, una gallina, me perdí |
| I, a bird | yo, un pájaro |
| Untimely died | murió prematuramente |
| Let not my brother | no dejes que mi hermano |
| Ever in the world | alguna vez en el mundo |
| Water his war-horse | Agua su caballo de guerra |
| Upon the seashore! | ¡A la orilla del mar! |
| Water of the sea | agua del mar |
| So much blood of mine | Tanta sangre mía |
| Fishes of the sea | Peces del mar |
| So much flesh of mine | Tanta carne mía |
| Such the death of the young maid | Tal la muerte de la joven doncella |
| End of the fair little hen | Fin de la feria gallinita |
