Zu Straßburg auf der Schanz,
Da ging mein Trauern an,
Das Alphorn hört' ich drüben wohl anstimmen,
Ins Vaterland mußt ich hinüber schwimmen,
Das ging ja nicht an.

Ein Stund'  in der Nacht
Sie haben mich gebracht;
Sie führten mich gleich vor des Hauptmanns Haus,
Ach Gott, sie fischten mich im Strome auf,
Mit mir ist es aus.

Früh Morgens um zehn Uhr
Stellt man mich vor's Regiment;
Ich soll da bitten um Pardon,
Und ich bekomm doch meinen Lohn,
Das weiß ich schon.

Ihr Brüder allzumal,
Heut' seht ihr mich zum letztenmal;
Der Hirtenbub ist nur Schuld daran,
Das Alphorn hat mir's angetan,
Das klag ich an.

En Estrasburgo, en la muralla

(Sung text translation for setting by G. Mahler)

See original

Language: Spanish (Español) after the German (Deutsch)

En Estrasburgo, en la muralla,
comenzaron mis problemas:
Oí el sonido de la trompa de los Alpes a lo lejos,
y decidí nadar a mi patria.
¡Eso era inaceptable, Eso era inaceptable!

En un momento de la noche me capturaron;
¡me llevaron directamente a la casa del Capitán!
¡Ay Dios!, me sacaron del río,
y ahora todo ha terminado para mí, 
y ahora todo ha terminado para mí.

¡Por la mañana a las diez
me llevarán ante el batallón!
¡Se supone que debo pedir perdón, mi perdón!
y recibiré mi merecido,
¡que ya conozco bien, que ya conozco bien!

Vosotros, hermanos míos, vosotros, hermanos míos,
hoy me veréis por última vez;
¡Fue culpa del pastorcillo!
¡Todo fue por la trompa de los Alpes,
¡A ella culpo, a ella culpo!
