Schwesterlein, Schwesterlein, wann gehn wir nach Haus?
»Morgen wenn die Hahnen krähn,
Wolln wir nach Hause gehn,
Brüderlein, Brüderlein, dann gehn wir nach Haus.«

 ... 

Schwesterlein, Schwesterlein, wohl ist es an der Zeit.
»Mein Liebster tanzt mit mir,
Geh ich, tanzt er mit ihr,
Brüderlein, Brüderlein, laß du mich heut.«

Schwesterlein, Schwesterlein, was bist du so blaß?
»Das macht der Morgenschein
Auf meinen Wangen fein,
Brüderlein, Brüderlein, die vom Taue naß.«

Schwesterlein, Schwesterlein, du wankest so matt?
»Suche die Kammertür,
Suche mein Bettlein mir
Brüderlein, Brüderlein, 's wird unterm Rasen sein.«

Germaneta, germaneta, quan anirem a casa?
“Demà, quan canti el gall,
anirem a casa,
germanet, germanet, aleshores anirem a casa.”

 ... 

Germaneta, germaneta, és hora de marxar.
“El meu estimat balla amb mi,
si me’n vaig, ballarà amb una altra,
germanet, germanet, deixa que em quedi encara.”

Germaneta, germaneta, per què estàs tan pàl·lida?
“És degut a la llum del matí
que il·lumina les meves galtes,
germanet, germanet, molles de rosada.”

Germaneta, germaneta, per què flaqueges tan dèbil?
“Cerca la porta de la cambra,
troba’m el meu llitet,
germanet, farà bé de jeure sota la gespa.”
