My Hat

[Thakowsaizmu]

Mein Hut, der hat drei Ecken,
Drei Ecken hat mein Hut.
Und hätt' er nicht drei Ecken,
Dann wär' er nicht mein Hut.


My hat, it has three corners,
Three corners has my hat.
And had it not three corners,
It would not be my hat.

On kolmikolmainen hattu vain,
on kulmaa kolme hatussain.
Jos ei kulmia juuri kolme ois,
ei se hattuni olla vois.

Wow, I got the rhytme.
But maybe you shouldn't learn Finnish from that.

There might still be a tension between a literal and an idiomatic translation.

I meant if I should translate it, or make it sound a song/poem.

Oh, you meant you wanted to preserve the prosody? Honestly I wouldn't worry about it.
