Des Durstes Erklärung
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT
Immer schwitzend, immer sitzend:
Fort ist Rock und fort die Litzen!
  Hört! Frau Sonne war verliebt;
Ganz bestimmt ich's weiß:
  Und in mich war sie verliebt,
Drum ward mir so heiß.

Ihres Auges glühend RUnd
  Spähte stets nach mir,
Überall verfolgt sie mich,
  Und nirgends RUh vor ihr!
Schweißes perlen, großen Durst
  Schaffte diese Lieb'.
Als gestillt der Höllenbrand,
  Nichts im Sack mir blieb.
