In the misty drizzle, in the deep snow

In the misty drizzle, in the deep snow,

in the wild woods on a winter's night,

I heard the hungry howl of wolves,

I heard the screech of owls,

Wille wau wau wau!

Wille wo wo wo!

Wito hu!

I shot a cat once by the fence -

Anna the witch's black cat;

there came by night seven werewolves to me,

there were seven she-wolves from the village.

Wille wau wau wau!

Wille wo wo wo!

Wito hu!

I knew them all, I knew them well:

Anna, Ursula, Kathy,

Lisa, Barbara, Eva, Beth;

forming a circle, they howled at me.

Wille wau wau wau!

Wille wo wo wo!

Wito hu!

Then I loudly named them all:

What do you want Anna? what do you want Beth?

They shook themselves, they gave a shake,

and ran howling away.

Wille wau wau wau!

Wille wo wo wo!

Wito hu!
