O Lerchle was hilft mi dei lustiger Schlag, solang' i no Winter im Herze 'rum trag'? Do drin will's net taue, ist's still wie im Grab, seitdem i koin Schatz und koin Glaube nich hab'. O Lerchle, du woisst net, wie traurig ei'm d'Welt, wenn's Liebste auf Erde ei'm d'Treue net hält. I möcht' ja gern froh sein, möcht' juble wie du, könnt' i no vergesse und weine dazu!
