Den grünen Zeigern,

Von Schenk' zu Schenk',
Solang' ich denk'.

Rote Wangen, die schlag' ich
Den Feinden auf's Beste,
Kanonengebrumm
Musiziert herum.

De groene wijzers

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Naar groene wijzers,
Naar rode wangen
En  vrolijke strijkers
Gingen al mijn gangen,
Van kroeg naar kroeg
Ging ik al vroeg.
 
Mijn sjako, die draagt nu
De groene twijgen,
Rode wangen, die kunnen
De vijanden krijgen,
Kanonnengebrom
Maakt muziek alom.
