In Meeres Mitten ist ein Ball von Golde,
Es streitet drum der Türke mit dem Christen.
Wem wird zuletzt der edle Schatz zu Solde?

In volle zee, daar is een winkel open,
Je treft een jonge koopmansvrouw daarbinnen;
Je kunt daar gouden band en zijdedraad1 kopen.

1 Zijdedraad: te zingen op een halve en en twee kwartnoten


In volle zee, daar is een bal, een gouden;
Daar vechten om de Turken en christ'nen.
Wie zal op 't eind de eed'le schat behouden?

In volle zee, daar staat een heel hoog altaar;
Met rozenkransen komen alle vrouwen.
O, bid voor mij tot hem, Jezus, zo dierbaar!
