Und als ich ein winzig Bübchen war,
Hop heisa, bei Regen und Wind!
Da machten zwei nur eben ein Paar,
Denn der Regen, der regnet jeglichen Tag.
Und als ich vertreten die Kinderschuh,
Hop heisa, bei Regen und Wind!
Da schloss man vor Dieben die Häuser zu,
Denn der Regen, der regnet jeglichen Tag.
Und als ich ach! ein Weib tat frei'n,
Hop heisa, bei Regen und Wind!
Da wollte mir Müßig gehn nicht gedeihn,
Denn der Regen, der regnet jeglichen Tag.
...
Die Welt steht schon eine hübsche Weil',
Hop heisa, bei Regen und Wind!
Doch das Stück ist nun aus, und ich wünsch' euch viel Heil;
Und daß es euch künftig so gefallen mag!

E quando ero un ragazzino piccolo piccolo,
tra la la, tra la la, con pioggia e vento,
di due si faceva sempre un paio,
perché la pioggia, piove ogni giorno.
E quando, ah, sposai una donna,
tra la la, tra la la, con pioggia e vento,
non volevo dedicarmi all'ozio,
perché la pioggia, piove ogni giorno.
Il mondo è certo un bellissimo posto,
tra la la, tra la la, con pioggia e vento,
ma ora è finita la commedia, ed io vi auguro tanto bene,
e che sempre vi piaccia.
