Mein Liebster hat zu Tische mich geladen Und hatte doch kein Haus mich zu empfangen, Nicht Holz noch Herd zum Kochen und zum Braten, Der Hafen auch war längst entzwei gegangen. An einem Fäßchen Wein gebrach es auch, Und Gläser hatt' er gar nicht im Gebrauch; Der Tisch war schmal, das Tafeltuch nicht besser, Das Brod steinhart und völlig stumpf das Messer.

El meu estimat m’ha convidat a dinar i tanmateix no té cap casa per rebre’m, ni llenya ni fogó per coure o rostir, l’escudella fa temps que s’havia partir per la meitat. No hi havia cap bóta de vi, ni tampoc copes per beure, la taula era petita, i la tovalla no pas millor, el pa era dur com una pedra i el ganivet no tallava.
