Willkommen schöner Jüngling!

Willkommen schöner Jüngling!
Du Wonne der Natur!
Mit deinem Blumenkörbchen
Willkommen auf der Flur!

Ey! ey! Da bist [ja]1 wieder!
Und bist so [lieb und schön]2!
Und freun wir uns so herzlich,
Entgegen dir zu gehn.

Denkst auch noch an mein Mädchen?
Ey lieber denke doch!
Dort liebte mich das Mädchen,
Und 's Mädchen liebt mich noch!

Fürs Mädchen manches Blümchen
[Erbat]3 ich mir von dir -
Ich komm' und bitte wieder,
Und du? - du giebst es mir?

Willkommen schöner Jüngling!
Du Wonne der Natur!
Mit deinem Blumenkörbchen
Willkommen auf der Flur.4

Alla Primavera

Benvenuto, bel giovinetto!
Tu, delizia della natura!
Col tuo panierino di fiori,
benvenuto sul prato!

Eccoti, sei tornato!
E sei così caro e bello!
Siamo felici 
di correrti incontro.

Ti ricordi della mia ragazza?
O caro, pensaci!
Là mi amava, la ragazza,
e questa ragazza mi ama ancora!

Per lei ti chiesi 
tanti fiori,
e vengo a chiedertene ancora,
e tu? Tu me li offri.

Benvenuto, bel giovinetto!
Tu, delizia della natura!
Col tuo panierino di fiori,
benvenuto sul prato!
