Subject: RE: Origins:/ADD: Above a Plain / Swiftly Flowing Labe
This is the version I learned as a young child:
Among the fields of golden green
A young boy's head is plainly seen.
Refrain:
A huya huya huya-ya
Swiftly running water
(repeated)
No, it's not a head at all!
It is a tower on a castle wall.
Refrain:
A huya huya huya-ya
Swiftly running water
