With thanks to Wim Posthuma, of Radio Esperanto in the town of Vasteras, Sweden!
Gaja vagabondo kampis apud bilabong
kie la Coolabah ombris por li
kaj li kantis atende gxis bolos en la billipot
Vi vagas valsa Matilda kun mi
Venis sxafido por trinki en la bilabong
kaptis vagulo kun gxoj` plena kri`
kaj li kantis sxovante la sxafon al la mangxosak`
Vi vagas valsa Matilda kun mi
Aperis farmisto sur pursanga al cxeval
Venis gxendarmo unu, du, tri
"Kies bela sxafo, tiu en la mangxosak"
Vi vagas valsa Matilda kun mi
Tuj la vagoulo saltis al la bilabong
"Vi vane kaptas vi min," diris li.
Kaj fantomon vi auxdos pasante cxe la bilabong.
Vi vagas valsa Matilda kun mi.

In the Esperanto alphabet is no "X". Some letters as c, g, h, j and s can have a ^ (cirkomflex) when the prononciation is else. We cannot yet write those in Internet. Thats why I put the "X" after that concerning letter. For example: sxi is pronounced as she in English and si in Esperanto is something else. When I write "ux", the u has the inverse cirkomlex and that "U" is a part of a diphthong.
