Spinn', Mägdlein, spinn! So wachsen dir die Sinn'! Wachsen dir die gelben Haar', Kommen dir die klugen Jahr', Spinn, Mägdlein, spinn! ... Sing', Mägdlein, sing' Und sei fein guter Ding'; Fang dein Spinnen lustig an, Mach' ein frommes End' daran. Lern', Mägdlein, lern', So hast du Glück und Stern, Lerne bei dem Spinnen fort Gottesfurcht und Gotteswort. ... Lob', Mägdlein, lob', Dem Schöpfer halte Prob', Daß dir Glaub' und Hoffnung wachs', Wie dein Garn und wie dein Flachs. Dank', Mägdlein, dank' Dem Herrn, daß du nicht krank, Daß du kannst fein oft und viel Treiben dieses Rockenspiel. Dank', Mägdlein, dank'!

Fila, noieta, fila i així et creixerà el seny, et creixeran els cabells rossos, i assoliràs els anys de saviesa. Fila, noieta, fila! ... Canta, noieta, canta i estigues de bon humor; comença a filar joiosa i acaba pietosament. Aprèn, noieta, aprèn i així tindràs felicitat i bona fortuna; aprèn sempre mentre files el temor i la paraula de Déu. ... Lloa, noieta, lloa, sigues ferma a les proves del Creador; que creixin la teva fe i esperança, tal com ho fan el teu fil i el teu lli. Dóna gràcies, noieta, dóna gràcies al Senyor de no caure malalta i puguis, ben bé i sovint, fer girar aquesta filosa. Dóna gràcies, noieta, dóna gràcies!
