1. A doe passed by on a donkey,
Kissing her fawn with affection.

2. Behind the gazelle was her frisky calf,
She wished to carry him in her pouch out of love.

3. She did to the lord of the young,
What the donkey did to her foal.

4. The foal rushed towards his mother,
He came to her, his mouth full of laughter.

5. He cried, "O mother, what's come over you?
That you mocked your own fawn?"
