Voller, dichter tropft um's Dach da[,] Tropfen süßer Regengüsse; Meines Liebchens holde Küsse, Mehren sich, je mehr ihr tropfet! Tropft ihr, -- darf ich sie umfassen, Laßt ihr's, -- will sie mich entlassen, Himmel, werde nur nicht lichter, Tropfen, tropfet immer dichter!

Drup maar voller, dichter ’t dak af, Regendruppels, kom maar blussen, Want mijn liefjes lieve kussen Nemen toe, hoe meer je druppelt! Drup je, dan mag ik haar pakken, Stop je, dan laat zij me zakken; Hemel, word vooral niet lichter, Druppels, druppel steeds nog dichter!
