Frauen und Mädchen
Knurre, schnurre, knurre!
Schnurre, Rädchen, schnurre!
Hanne
Drille, Rädchen, lang und fein,
drille fein ein Fädelein
mir zum Busenschleier!
Weber, webe zart und fein,
webe fein das Schleierlein
mir zur Kirmesfeier!
Außen blank, und innen rein,
muß des Mädchens Busen sein;
wohl deckt ihn der Schleier.
Außen blank, und innen rein,
fleißig, fromm und sittsam sein,
locket wack're Freier.

Chant des fileuses
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Les femmes et les jeunes filles
Ronronne, ronfle, ronronne !
Ronfle, petit rouet, ronfle !
Anne
Tourne vite, petit rouet, long et fin,
Tourne fin un petit fil
Pour mon corsage !
Tisserand, tisse délicat et fin,
Tisse fin la voilette
Pour la fête du village !
Blanc dehors et pur dedans
Doit être le sein des jeunes filles,
Bien couvert par le voile.
Blanc dehors et pur dedans
Application, piété et modestie
Sont les moyens d'attirer un brave prétendant.
