Mir glänzen die Augen Wie der Himmel so klar; Heran und vorüber, Du schlanker Husar! Heran und vorüber Und wieder zurück! Vielleicht kann's geschehen, Du findest dein Glück! Was weidet dein Rapp mir Den Reseda dort ab? Soll das nun der Dank sein Für die Lieb, so ich gab? Was richten deine Sporen Mein Spinngarn zu Grund? Was hängt mir am Hage Deine Jacke so bunt? Troll [nur dich]1 von hinnen Auf deinem groben Tier Und laß meine freudigen Sternaugen mir!

Brillen els meus ulls tan clars com el cel; tu vas i véns esvelt hússar! Tu vas i véns i tornes enrere! Potser pot esdevenir-se que trobis la felicitat! Per què el teu cavall negre allà, brosteja les meves resedes? És això l’agraïment per l’amor que t’he donat? Per què els teus esperons fan malbé el meu fil de teixir? Per què penges a la meva tanca el teu gec tan bigarrat? Toca el dos d’aquí damunt el teu rústec animal i deixa els meus alegres ulls com estrelles per a mi!
