O yes, we've seen
your girl friend,
haven't we?
Splashing in the sea waves,
wetting even that wreath of water-thorn
in her hair?
(2)
O yes, we've seen
your girl friend,
haven't we?
Her gold ornaments fall
in the sand,
and all she does is ask
the small white snipe!
(3)
O yes, we've seen
your girl friend,
haven't we?
Making a din with her gaggle
of flashing girls,
she splashes
in the big cold wave,
doesn't she?
(4)
O yes, we've seen
your girl friend,
haven't we?
When the sea plays
with her sand-dolls,
she throws sand
and shrieks
at the sea,
doesn't she?
(5)
O yes, we've seen
your girl friend,
haven't we?
Delicate ornaments and garlands
of white dead nettle
on her young breasts,
she jerks them away
in a sulk,
doesn't she?
(6)
O yes, we've seen
your girl friend,
haven't we?
She gives her bud of a breast
with no milk yet
to a doll with a mouth
that cannot drink,
playing at giving suck,
doesn't she?
