Translation:
Witch go you fast, witch go you If you will not go fast, witch let me Circling a circle widdershins Linking hands quickly and merrily widdershins, Wives, crones, mothers and young lasses Round go we!
Witch go you fast, witch go you If you will not go fast, witch let me Circling a circle widdershins Looping easily and swiftly Tucked up skirts and flying hair Three times three!
Witch go you fast, witch go you If you will not go fast, witch let me Circling a circle widdershins Whirling screaming louder, widdershins Devil take the last one Whoever she be!
