Fein Rößlein, ich
Beschlage dich,
Sei frisch und fromm,
Und wieder komm!
Trag deinen Herrn
Stets treu dem Stern,
Der seiner Bahn
Hell glänzt voran.
...
Trag auf dem Ritt
Mit jedem Tritt
Den Reiter du
Dem Himmel zu!
Nun Rößlein, ich
Beschlage dich,
Sei frisch und fromm,
Und wieder komm!

Mio bel cavallino,
eccoti ferrato,
sii vispo e docile,
e fai ritorno.
Fedele, il tuo padrone
verso la stella conduci
che lungo il suo cammino
sempre risplende.
...
E nella tua corsa
passo dopo passo
conduci il tuo cavaliere
più vicino al cielo!
E ora mio bel cavallino
eccoti ferrato,
sii vispo e docile,
e fai ritorno.
