Der Contrabandiste
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG FRE
Ich bin der Contrabandiste,
Weiß wohl Respekt mir zu schaffen.
Allen zu trotzen, ich weiß es,
Furcht nur, die hab' ich vor keinem.
Drum nur lustig, nur lustig!
Wer kauft Seide, Tabak!
Ja wahrlich, mein Rößlein ist müde,
Ich eil', ich eile, ja eile,
Sonst faßt mich noch gar die Runde,
Los geht der Spektakel dann.
Lauf nur zu, o mein Pferdchen,
Lauf zu, mein lustiges Pferdchen.
Ach, mein liebes, gutes Pferdchen,
Weißt ja davon, mich zu tragen!

Je suis le contrebandier
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Je suis le contrebandier,
Et je sais bien inspirer le respect.
Je sais défier n'importe qui,
Je n'ai peur de personne.
Alors, vive la joie, vive la joie !
Qui veut acheter soie ou tabac !
Oui mon petit cheval est vraiment fatigué,
Je me presse, oui, me presse,
Sinon la garde m'attrapera encore,
Et alors ça va faire du barouf.
Cours donc, mon joyeux petit cheval,
Ah, mon cher et bon petit cheval,
Tu sais bien me supporter !
