Lied des Bauers unter der Linde
 (Sung text for setting by L. Lenz)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG ITA
Ein junger Bauer
 Der Schäfer putzte sich zum Tanz
 Mit bunter Jacke, Band und Kranz,
 Schmuck war er angezogen,
 Schon um die Linde war es voll,
 Und alles tanzte schon wie toll.

Chor der Bauern
 Juchhe! Juchhe!
 Juchheisa! Heisa! He!

Bauer
 So ging der Fiedelbogen.

 Er drückte hastig sich heran,
 Da stieß er an ein Mädchen an
 Mit seinem Ellenbogen;
 Die frische Dirne dreht' sich um
 Und sagte: nun das find' ich dumm!

Chor
 Juchhe! Juchhe!
 Juchheisa! Heisa! He!

Bauer
 Seid nicht so ungezogen!

 Doch hurtig in dem Kreise ging's,
 Sie tanzten rechts, sie tanzten links
 Und all Röcke flogen.
 Sie wurden rot, sie wurden warm
 Und ruhten atmend Arm in Arm.

Chor
 Juchhe! Juchhe!
 Juchheisa! Heisa! He!

Bauer
 Und Hüft' an Ellenbogen.

 Und tu' mir doch nicht so vertraut!
 Wie Mancher hat nicht seine Braut
 Belogen und betrogen!
 Er schmeichelte sie doch bei Seit'
 Und von der Linde scholl es weit!

Chor
 Juchhe! Juchhe!
 Juchheisa! Heisa! He!

Bauer
 Geschrei und Fiedelbogen!

 (Sung text translation for setting by L. Lenz)
 See original
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
CONTADINI
Per recarsi al ballo si adorna il pastore,
giubba, ghirlanda, nastri di vario colore,
tutto davvero elegante.
Attorno al tiglio si radunano tutti
ballano tanto da sembrare matti
Zum pa! Zum pa!
Zum papa! Zum! Pa!
Al ritmo del violino.

Lui si butta rapido fra la folla
e subito urta a una bella fanciulla
spingendola col gomito.
La giovane fanciulla gira il visino
e dice: che modi da cretino! 
Zum pa! Zum pa!
Zum papa! Zum! Pa!
Cerca di essere meno villano.

Il ballo intanto procedeva in tondo,
girando a destra, poi nel verso opposto,
era tutto un volare di sottane.
I visi rossi, caldi e sudati
si fermano ansando, ancora abbracciati.
Zum pa! Zum pa!
Zum papa! Zum! Pa!
I fianchi ai gomiti ben appoggiati.

Non ti prendere troppa licenza!
Ché gli uomini spesso la fidanzata
hanno lasciato dopo averla ingannata!
Lui poi, però, infine l'ha convinta
ad appartarsi, e ormai dal tiglio, lontano,
Zum pa! Zum pa!
Zum papa! Zum! Pa!
S'odono grida e violino.
