Des Goldbauern Hiesel, dem ging es recht schlecht, er liebte die Liesel, die Liesel den Knecht. Des Goldbauern Hiesel hatt' Taler, die echt; er gab sie der Liesel, sie gab sie dem Knecht. Des Goldbauern Hiesel sagt, dass er sie möcht'; da lachte die Liesel und küsste den Knecht. Des Goldbauern Hiesel hat alles verzecht; da ließ ihn die Liesel und ging zu dem Knecht. Des Goldbauern Hiesel ward dennoch gerächt; so wie ihn die Liesel, verriet sie der Knecht.

The Goldbauer's son, Hiesel, Was in a bad state, He loved Liesel, Liesel loved the servant. The Goldbauer's son, Hiesel, Had coins that were authentic; He gave them to Liesel, She gave them to the servant. The Goldbauer's son, Hiesel, Said that he wanted her; Liesel laughed at him And kissed the servant. The Goldbauer's son, Hiesel, Spent all his money on drink, Then Liesel left him And went to the servant. The Goldbauer's son, Hiesel, Was nevertheless avenged; Just as Liesel betrayed him, She was in turn betrayed by the servant.
1 According to Pierer's Universal-Lexikon der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, Volume 7, Altenburg: Verlagsbuchhandlung von H.A. Pierer, 1859, page 449, a "Goldbauer" was a Serbian farmer who had permission to dig for gold, without being taxed for it.
