Lied der Chispa
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Chispa (Mezzosopran): 
 Es war ein Bruder Liederlich
 In Andalusiens Landen,
 Der sich auf Hau'n und Degenstich
 Wie keiner sonst verstanden.
 Halloh, halloh, mal so.

Soldaten:
 Halloh, halloh, mal so.

Chispa:
 In einem Spielhaus fand er dann
 Zur Nacht was ihn erboste,
 Chinilla nicht, sein Liebchen an,
 Wie sie mit Carlo koste
 Hallo, hallo, mal so.

Soldaten:
 Hallo, hallo, mal so.

Chispa:
 Der Carlo war ein Wetterstrahl,
 Aus Wolkenschacht geboren,
 Er sprang vom Stuhl und schlug den Stahl
 Dem Kömmling um die Ohren.
 Hallo, hallo, mal so.

Soldaten:
 Hallo, hallo, mal so.
