Bin ein armes Waisenkind
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE ITA
Rose:
 Bin ein armes Waisenkind,
 Dem seine Lieb'n gestorben sind.

Martha:
 Habt Ihr ein Zeugnis, einen Schein.
 Dass man euch auch trauen mag?

Rose:
 Ach nein!
 Wenn Euch mein Bitten nicht bewegt-

Martha:
 Das Mitleid saure Fruchte trägt,
 Hat man im Haus erst Euresgleichen,
 Pflegt Ruh' und Frieden d'raus zu weichen
 Geh' du nur fort!

Rose:
 O nehmet auf mich mildgesinnt,
 Ich will Euch lohnen, was Ihr tut
 An mir, mit meinem Herzensblut.

Martha:
 Versprechen lasst sich viel mit Worten,
 Geht, pocht dort an des Nachbars Pforten!
 Geht fort!
