by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791)

O du eselhafter Martin
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  DUT
O du eselhafter Martin,
o du martinischer Esel,
du bist so faul als wie ein Gaul,
der weder Kopf noch Haxen hat.
Mit dir ist gar nichts an zu fangen,
ich seh dich noch am Galgen hangen,
du dummer Paul, halt du das Maul,
du dummer Paul du bist so faul als wie ein Gaul.
 
O lieber Martin ich bitte dich recht sehr,
o rech mir doch geschwind den Prügel her.
O lieber Freund verzeihe mir,
die Prügel geb ich gerne dir.
Martin, Martin, Martin, verzeihe mir!
