Available translation(s): CAT ENG FRE
Nein, junger Herr, so treibt man's nicht, fürwahr;
Man sorgt dafür, sich schicklich zu betragen.
Für Alltags bin ich gut genug, nicht wahr?
Doch Bessre suchst du dir an Feiertagen.
Nein, junger Herr, wirst du so weiter sünd'gen,
Wird dir den Dienst dein Alltagsliebchen künd'gen.

No, young sir, one does not carry on so, in truth
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
No, young sir, one does not carry on so, in truth;
One takes care to behave oneself properly.
For everyday I am good enough - not true?
Yet you seek better on festive days.
No, young sir, if you will sin further,
Your everyday sweetheart will give you notice!
