Den grünen Zeigern,
Den roten Wangen,
Den lustigen Geigern
Bin ich nachgegangen
Von Schenk' zu Schenk',
Solang' ich denk'.
Am Tschako jetz trag' ich
Die grünen Äste,
Rote Wangen, die schlag' ich
Den Feinden auf's Beste,
Kanonengebrumm
Musiziert herum.

Ai verdi segnali
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Ai verdi segnali,
alle guance rosse,
agli allegri musicanti
sono andato appresso,
di taverna in taverna,
per qunato mi ricordi.
Sul colbacco ora porto
i ramoscelli verdi,
guance rosse,
e batto il nemico nel modo migliore,
quando il suono del cannone
fa il concerto intorno.
