Die Mutter: Singe, Mädchen, hell und klar, Sing' aus voller Kehle, Daß uns nicht die Spatzenschar Alle Beeren stehle! Die Tochter: Mutter, mag auch weit der Spatz Flieh'n vor meinem Singen, Fürcht' ich doch, es wird den Schatz Um so näher bringen. Die Mutter: Freilich, für so dreisten Gauch Braucht es einer Scheuche, Warte nur, ich komme auch In die Beerensträuche! Die Tochter: Mutter, nein, das hat nicht Not: Beeren, schau, sind teuer, Doch der Küsse, reif und rot, Gibt es viele heuer!

La mère : Chante, ma fille, brillamment et clairement, Chante à gorge déployée, Pour que la troupe des moineaux Ne nous vole pas toutes les baies ! La fille : Mère, même si le moineau pouvait S'envoler à mon chant; J'ai peur que mon trésor Ne soit attiré plus près. La mère : Bien sûr, pour un tel benêt effronté On a besoin d'un épouvantail, Attends un peu, je viendrai aussi Dans les arbustes à baies. La fille : Mère, non, ce n'est pas la peine ; Regarde les baies comme elles sont rares, Mais les baisers, mûrs et rouges, Il y en a plein cette année.
