I will bear you; be at rest;
I will bear you; I’m a man,
Man, man, man, man . . .”
Chorus.Hinkutty hoy, hinkutty han,
Kill her, kill her—if you can.
Evaïd.“I will save you, never leave you,
I will heal you, never grieve you . . .”
Melfort.Now I see it, now I know it,
Know the meaning of the chorus,
Of the cursèd croaking frogs.
