Original text and translations
English text
One fine dark night with a fine dark sky
And fine-sliced moon so bright,
A Cat leapt forth with a fine black coat
And paws of moonlit white;
If I should ask you to say her name
I'm sure you'd tell me that
She's Yantantessera,
Tessera, Cat.
She had no humans, she had no home,
She had no meals to eat,
But soon, by means of a friendly purr
Adopted half a street,
Where twenty humans would serve her food:
They all had time to chat
With Yantantessera…
The Cats' Home heard, and they swore to find
The Cat a Home, and thus
She started work as a Rescue Cat
Who came to rescue us.
And since that day, we belong to her;
We're proud to share a flat
With Yantantessera…
