Und als ich ein winzig Bübchen war, Hop heisa, bei Regen und Wind! Da machten zweie nun eben ein Paar, 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 gefalle!

Toen ik nog 'n heel klein knaapje was Hop heisa, bij regen en wind! Toen was ik met speelgoed niet erg in mijn sas, Want de regen, die regent iedere dag. ... En toen ik, ach, uit vrijen ging, Hop heisa, bij regen en wind! Toen vond ik 'versieren' een hachelijk ding, Want de regen, die regent iedere dag. ... De wereld draait rond al een hele tijd. Hop heisa, bij regen en wind! Maar het stuk is nu uit en dit moest ik nog kwijt, En dat u 't nog vaak mag bevallen.
