Frauenchor: Ei Mühle, liebe Mühle, Wie schau'st so schmuck du heut'! Du trägst geziert mit Blumen Ein sonntägliches Kleid. Du hast selbst deine Giebel Mit Kränzen reich geschmückt, So froh hast du noch nimmer In's Tal hineingeblickt. Ei Waldbach, wie manierlich Trollst du am Haus vorbei! Du fleissig Rad der Mühle, Bist du heut' arbeitsfrei, Ei Knappen, liebe Knappen, Wie seht so schmuck ihr heut', Ihr tragt, verziert mit Bändern, Das schönste Sonntagskleid. Ihr habt die neuen Hüte Mit Blumen reich geschmückt Und sie kokett manierlich Schräg auf den Kopf gedruckt. Ei Knappen - Warum feiern, Am Wochentage heut', Das fleiss'ge Rad der Mühle, Und ihr, die fleiss'gen Leut?

Coro di fanciulle: O mio caro molinaro, come sei ben vestito oggi, indossi, tutto ornato di fiori, l'abito della domenica. Hai pure riccamente abbellito con corone la tua casa; e mai è stato così lieto il tuo viso mentre osserva la valle. O mio caro guardaboschi, con che garbo per la casa ti aggiri! E tu, ruota operosa del mulino sei forse, oggi, in vacanza? O miei cari lavoranti mugnai, come apparite eleganti oggi, indossate, tutto guarnito di nastri, l'abito dei giorni di festa, E i vostri cappelli nuovi, sono riccamente ornati di fiori, mentre voi, con civettuola eleganza, li poggiate di traverso sul capo. Miei cari lavoranti - Come mai non sta lavorando in un giorno di metà settimana la ruota operosa del mulino, e pure voi state a riposo?
