Raţuştele mele pe apă s-au dus,

Stau cu ciocu-n apă şi codiţa-n sus,

Dau din aripioare şi fac mare haz,

După atâta joacă foamea a venit,

Au mâncat mult peşte şi s-au săturat

Una dupa alta, spre casă-au plecat,

Mergand catre casă ele macaiesc,

Stau apoi la umbră şi se odihnesc,

My little ducks went on the water,

They stay with their head in the water and their tail up (dabbling)

After playing so much, they got hungry

So they went fishing in a hurry
