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!

枯瘦的妓女 有著長長的頸項 將是他的最後一位 情人。 在他的腦袋上 宛如一根針扎進去 （就是那）枯瘦的妓女 有著長長的頸項。 有如松樹一般纖細， 在她的頸項上有條髮辮－ 它將充滿活力地 擁抱這惡人的頸項， 枯瘦的妓女！
