Am Sonntag Morgen, zierlich angethan, Wohl weiß ich, wo du da bist hingegangen, Und manche Leute waren, die dich sahn, Und kamen dann zu mir, dich zu verklagen. Als sie mir's sagten, hab' ich laut gelacht Und in der Kammer dann geweint [zu]1 Nacht. Als sie mir's sagten, fing ich an zu singen, Um einsam dann die Hände wund zu ringen.

Op zondagmorgen, prachtig aangekleed, Ik weet wel, waar jij toen hebt uitgehangen, En heel wat mensen hadden daarvan weet, En kwamen over jou toen bij mij klagen. Toen ze ’t mij zeiden, had 'k een luide lach, Maar in mijn kamer heb ‘k gehuild vannacht. Toen zij 't me zeiden, ving ik aan te zingen, Om, weer alleen, mijn handen stuk te wringen.
