Jaromír Nohavica - Three Small Piglets

Lined up in a row

Three small piglets go

In the mud they plod on

Through rain, sleet or snow

With no bags they go

The way they don´t know

Setting off into the world,

singing gladly as they go



Ui, ui, ui (oink, oink) (squeal,squeal)



Left and right foot step

Now front and the rear

Three small piglets go, go

going together

Munching rye they go

Ears ring to and fro

Setting off into the world,

Singing gladly as they go



Ui, ui, ui, (oink, oink)



Cars are going there

Here the lorries go

Three small piglets, go, go

following their nose

Staring as they go

People do not know

For what these small piglets here are

Singing so gladly as they go



Ui ui ui



When it starts to rain

a break in the cloud

They snuggle together

snout to little snout

In a lightning show

drops patter as they go

in the rain and in foul weather

singing gladly as they go





Ui Ui Ui



When they´re out of breath

When their hooves are sore

They sit at a small well

high above the shore

Looking down their nose

At their splashing toes

They rest there just for a moment

and on again as they go



After many years

since the world was named

three times they crossed the globe

there and back again

Lined up in a row

Look there there they go

Let´s go along with them and sing

gladly their song as we go
