Das Fensterln
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich bin auf dich böse, du Liebchen mein,
warum lässt du niemals zum Fenster mich hinein?
Ich habe manch' Stunde unterm Fenster gewacht,
ich hab' mich geärgert, der Mond hat gelacht!

Dass du mich nicht lieb hast, hätt' ich nimmer geglaubt!
Drum geh' ich ins Tirolerland, da ist's Fensterln erlaubt.
Innig um Liebe flehend steh' ich vor Deinem Haus,
dass du dich nicht lässt küssen, halt' ich länger nicht aus.

Flirting
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch) 
I feel very angry with you, sweetheart dear,
For ne'er at your window do you for me appear.
I've stood 'neath that window many hours for you,
I've oft lost my patience, the moon laughed thereto.

That you do not love me, I should ne'er have believed.
I'll to the Tyrol haste away, there I'll be kindly received.
Seeking your true love affection stand I before your door;
That you'll not let me kiss you, I cannot bear any more.

From the Meyer-Helmund score.
