Als gesehn ich Liebrosinchen
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Als [gesehn]1 ich Liebrosinchen, 
Wie begann mein Herz zu brennen!  
Alles was ich denken können, 
War nur sie, bei Tag und Nacht.  
CHORUS
 Wahrlich treu ist lieb Mariechen, 
 Und Thereschen, Karolinchen, 
 Doch die Liebe von Rosinchen 
 Leidet durchaus kein Vergleich. 

In dem fernen Brittenlande 
Hab' als Krieger ich gestanden, 
Auf den Wassern, in den Landen
Ward mir in der Liebe Glück! 
(CHORUS)

Auch in Frankreich war ich lange, 
Fand dort viele schöne Kinder 
Und gefällig auch nicht minder, 
Lieben konnten alle nicht. 
(CHORUS)

Einen Brief hab' ich erhalten 
Durch's Packetboot heute morgen, 
Ach, wie ist mein Schatz voll Sorgen, 
Daß ich weit entfernet bin. 
(CHORUS)

Also schreibet mir die Treue: 
Komm, Geliebter, oh'n Verweilen, 
Von dem Kummer mich zu heilen, 
Tröste dein Rosinchen du. 
(CHORUS)
