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.«

Petite sœur, petite sœur, quand rentrons-nous à la maison ?
« Demain, quand chantera le coq,
Nous irons à la maison,
Petit frère, petit frère, alors nous irons à la maison. »

 ... 

Petite sœur, petite sœur, il est bien temps.
« Mon amoureux danse avec moi,
Si je pars il dansera avec une autre,
Petit frère, petit frère, aujourd'hui, laisse-moi. »

Petite sœur, petite sœur, pourquoi es-tu pâle ?
« C'est à cause de la clarté du matin
Sur mes petites joues,
Petit frère, petit frère, humides de rosée. »

Petite sœur, petite sœur, tu titubes d'épuisement ?
« Cherche la porte de la chambre,
Trouve-moi mon petit lit
Petit frère, il fera bon être sous le gazon. »
