Die Marketenderin
 (Sung text for setting by R. Leberl)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
  Es hat sich ein Mädchen in ein Fähndrich verliebt, 
Er spricht ihr von Ehe und heirath sie nicht; 
Wenn der Fähndrich, die Fahne thut rührn, 
Thut sichs Herzchen vor Freuden floriern.
  Der Tambur die Trommel im Wirbel schon rührt,
 ... 
O wunderschön Mädchen, mußt leiden groß Noth!
Da heißt es: Soldaten, ins Feld müßt marschiern! 
Bald haben wir kein Geld, und bald haben wir kein Brot,
 ... 
Du wunderschön Mädchen, so geht es ins Feld! 
Wenn der Feind kommt und bringet uns um, 
Bleib bei der Armee und halt dich fein frumm.
