You will not be able to cross it. I will make myself a big fish, and I will cross the river, and I will come to you. Make no mistake little girl, do not come to us. By us there are lofty mountains. You will not be able to cross them. I will make myself a portridge, and I will cross the mountains, and I will come to you. Make no mistake little girl, do not come to us. By us there is a cruel mother-in-law You will not be able to live. Cruel mother-in-law, good daughter-in-law, we will get on the two together, and two together we will live.
