''Kang, kang, kang ki ki kang kang.''


''Kang, kang, kang ki ki kang kang.''
For the blacksmith courted me, nine months and better;
For the blacksmith courted me, nine months and better;
And first he won my heart, till he wrote to me a letter.
And first he won my heart, till he wrote to me a letter.

Kang, kang, kang ki ki kang kang.

For the blacksmith courted me, nine months and better;
And first he won my heart, till he wrote to me a letter.
With his hammer in his hand, as he strikes so mighty and clever,
He makes the sparks to fly all around his middle.
