Die dürre Dirne Mit langem Halse Wird seine letzte Geliebte sein. In seinem Hirne Steckt wie ein Nagel Die dürre Dirne Mit langem Halse. Schlank wie die Pinie, Am Hals ein Zöpfchen - Wollüstig wird sie Den Schelm umhalsen, Die dürre Dirne!

La magra sgualdrina dal lungo collo, sarà la sua ultima donna amata. Nella sua mente sta come un chiodo, la magra sgualdrina dal lungo collo. Come un pino slanciata al collo una trecciolina - Voluttuosamente stringerà in un abbraccio il furfante, la magra sgualdrina.
