Ei, tai vija, pinavija,
Visą dieną grybais lyja.
Visą dieną nuo pat ryto
Grybai krito, krito, krito…
Kai lietus nustojo lijęs,
Pražydėjo pinavijos.
O miške išdygo grybų –
Šimtas trisdešimt sodybų.

It was raining all the day.... one hundred and thirty mushrooms sprouted in the forest
O kad skaičiaus nepamirštų,
Tai skaičiuodavo ant pirštų.
Jo žmona – riebi paliepė –
Savo vyrui kartą liepė:
Šitų grybų pulkaunykas
Buvo storas baravykas.
Jis ūsus po beržu raitė
Ir grybus nuo kelmo skaitė.
The leader of all the mushrooms was a corpulent Boletus who was twisting up his mustache while he counted all the mushrooms.
