Buzz buzz, the blue flies,
lighting on the fence:
my joyous and gentle lord,
don't listen to slanderous words!

Buzz buzz, the blue flies,
lighting on the thorn:
slandering men know no limits,
they destroy every state around!

Buzz buzz, the blue flies,
they light on the hazel:
no end to slanderers' doings—
they set the two of us to quarreling!
