Kaum sahen wir uns, und an Augen und Stimme Merkt' ich, daß du mir gewogen bist; Und stand nicht dabei die Mutter, die schlimme, Ich glaube, wir hätten uns gleich geküßt. Und morgen verlasse ich wieder das Städtchen, Und eile fort im alten Lauf; Dann lauert am Fenster mein blondes Mädchen, Und freundliche Grüße werf' ich hinauf.

Nous nous étions à peine vus, qu'à tes yeux et à ta voix Je ressentis que tu avais un penchant pour moi; Et si ce n'avait été la présence de ta terrible mère, Je crois que nous nous serions déjà embrassés. Et demain je quitte à nouveau la ville, Pour courir encore mon vieux chemin; Alors ma blonde guettera à sa fenêtre, Et je lui enverrai un gentil au-revoir.
