Die Mutter: Singe, Mädchen, hell und klar, Sing' aus voller Kehle, Daß uns nicht die Spatzenschar Alle Beeren stehle! Die Tochter: Mutter, mag auch weit der Spatz Flieh'n vor meinem Singen, Fürcht' ich doch, es wird den Schatz Um so näher bringen. Die Mutter: Freilich, für so dreisten Gauch Braucht es einer Scheuche, Warte nur, ich komme auch In die Beerensträuche! Die Tochter: Mutter, nein, das hat nicht Not: Beeren, schau, sind teuer, Doch der Küsse, reif und rot, Gibt es viele heuer!

La mare: Canta, filla, fort i clar, canta a plena veu, perquè el vol de pardals no ens prengui totes les baies! La filla: Mare, encara que el meu cant faci espantar els pardals, em temo que farà venir més a prop el meu tresor. La mare: Certament, per a aital atrevit tanoca cal un espantall, espera un moment, jo vindré també vers els matolls de baies! La filla: Mare, no, no cal que vinguis: mira, de baies no n’hi ha gaires, però de besades, madures i roges, n’hi ha a dojo aquest any!
