      In some language this is supposed to be what a frog sounds like to them.

      Frogs
      Brekekekex koax koax.

      Dionysus
      Go to hell with your koax
      koax and nothing but koax!

      Frogs
      Rightly so, you busybody.
      the Muses of the fine lyre love us
      And so does horn-crested Pan, playing his reed pipe.
      And the harpist Apollo delights in us as well,
      On account of the reed, which as a bridge for his lyre
      I nourish in the water of the pond.
      Brekekekex koax koax.

      Dionysus
      I've got blisters,
      and for long now my rump's been sweating.
      It's going to pop up and say—

      Frogs
      Brekekekex koax koax.

      Dionysus
      Song-loving brood,
      Stop!

      Frogs
      No, all the more
      will we sing, if ever
      On a sunshiny day,
      we leaped through the weeds
      and the rushes, rejoicing in the song's
      diving melodies,
      or fleeing Zeus' rain
      at the bottom our watery dance—
      song we sang
      with bubbles and splashes.

      Dionysus
      Brekekekex koax koax.
      I'll just take this from you.

      Frogs
      Ah, then we'll suffer horribly.

      Dionysus
      But I suffer worse,
      if I explode as I row.

      Frogs
      Brekekekex koax koax.

      Dionysus
      Croak on—it doesn't bother me.

      Frogs
      You bet we'll shout
      as much as our throats
      can hold, all day long.

      Dionysus
      Brekekekex koax koax.
      You won't beat me with that.

      Frogs
      And you won't beat us at all.

      Dionysus
      Nor you me, oh no,
      Never! For I will shout
      if I have to, all day long,
      until I vanquish you with this koax.
      brekekekex koax koax.
