from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Tanz, Mädchen, tanz!
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Tanz, Mädchen, tanz!
Die Schuhe sind noch ganz.
Laß dich's nicht gereuen,
Der Schuster macht dir neue.

Gretele, willst tanzen?
"O jerum, jo!
Um das bissel Tanzen bin ich jo do!"
Urschele, willst tanzen?
"O jerum, nein!
Um das bissel Tanzen bleib ich lieber daheim!"
Tanz, Mädchen, tanz! ...

Ich hab die Ros' an meinem Fuß,
das macht, daß ich allzeit tanzen muß,
tanzen, wiederum tanzen muß.
O weh, mein Fuß,
wenn ich arbeiten muß.
Tut mir mein Fuß nicht weh,
wenn ich zum Tanzen geh.
Tanz, Mädchen, tanz! ...

O Mutter, i ka nid spinne,
der Finger tut mir weh.
Der Gyger spannet d'Saite
u tanzen möcht i geh!
Tanz, Mädchen, tanz! ...
