Don't blame yourself; the pronunciation is a valiant attempt, but very
difficult to make out. Here is what I heard (and I have no idea what the
original German is, nor would I understand it if I did). Each line is
ended with a pause.
QaghmeH wojmeH je lutmey

The speaker somewhat skips over *qaghwI'* and seems to have trouble with
*Qay* and *tlhay.* His cadence is also difficult to follow, though he
clearly understands what he's saying. The translator chose not to use
*Qa'Hom* for /mouse./
