A new song,
oh dear! will I sing to you,
of the sparrow when was tucking himself up,
oh dear! in the orange tree,
oh dear!
in the orange tree.
 
He fluttered from branch to branch,
oh dear! making noise,
in order to be heard,
oh dear!
by his loved one,
oh dear! by his loved one. 

His loved one rests in the bedroom,
oh dear! hears nothing,
but the house servant,
or the carter,
oh dear!
or the carter. 

From the highest window,
oh dear! she said:
-- It's past the eleventh hour,
please go to bed.
oh dear!
please go to bed. 

It's not yet time to retire,
oh dear! I'm just on the way,
I have made a promise,
oh dear! to Saint Maginus,
oh dear! 
to Saint Maginus. 

When I was at Saint Maginus,
oh dear! I implored,
that he let me return to my country,
oh dear! to court
oh dear!
to court. 

Three loved ones,
oh dear! that little bird had,
Mariagna, Petronila,
oh dear! and Elisabet
oh dear!
and Elisabet.
