Re: [Cz-L] Das Wandern

Czernowitzers loved Schubert songs unreservedly. Also Schiller and
Heine poems.
These were the "Best". But they also read to their children "Der
Struwelpeter",
"Max und Moritz" and the grim fairy-tales of the Brothers Grimm.
Not the most edifying literature. We also sang:

Mai Kaeffer flieg,
der Vater ist im Krieg,
die Mutter ist in Pemmernland,
Pommernland ist abgebrandt,
Maikaeffer flieg.

May-bug fly!
father is at war,
Mother is in Pommerania,
Pommerania is burnt down,
May-bug fly!

And when we thought no adult could hear us, we recited:

Eins zwei drei, Panner Pickerei,
Panner Picker Oberstinker, eins zwei drei.
(I am not going to translate this, it is both vulgar and stupid)
