Janne moeie, al claer!

Janne moye, al claer, al claer!
De waerheyt moet zyn hutgherult.
By een vierken met een bierken
Heb ick myn wambuys ghevult.

Sot is hy die mispaert
En hem selven gheen duecht en doet.
Ick pryse de waghebaert:
Daer es mede t lyf ghevoet.

Geensens sorgen, letteren,
borghen,
Nu hier, nu daer.
Dan dans ick, dan spring ick,
Dan roep ick, dan sing ick:
Janne moye, al claer, al claer!

Mooie Janne, ‘t is al goed

Mooie Janne, ‘t is al goed, ‘t is al goed!
De waarheid zal ik eruit gooien.
Bij een vuurtje met een biertje
Heb ik mij bezat.

Een idioot degene die zich dat misgunt
En zelf niet weet te genieten.
Ik loof de Waghebaert1:
Daarmee wordt het lichaam gevoed [/ daar knapt het lijf van op].

Geen reden voor zorgen, rekeningen betalen, of voor lenen,
Nu hier, dan daar.
Dan dans ik, dan spring ik,
Dan roep ik, dan zing ik.
Mooi Janne, ‘t is al goed, ‘t is al goed!
