Anne Margritchen!
Was willst du, mein Liebchen?
Ich trinke so gerne
Gezückerten Wein. 

Zwei Pfund Zuckerchen,
Ein Pfund Butterchen,
Zwei Maaße Wein,
So muß es gut sein. 

Schütt' es in ein Kesselchen,
Rühr es mit dem Löffelchen,
Anne Margritchen,
Welch Süpplein ist das? 
Eine Weinsupp'! eine Weinsupp'!

Little Anne-Margrit!
What do you want, my darling?
"I do so love
Drinking sugared wine."

Two pounds of sugar,
One pound of butter,
Two measures of wine,
Those would be the right proportions.

Put it into a little kettle,
Stir it with a little spoon.
Little Anne-Margrit,
What kind of a soup is that?

"A wine-soup!" A wine soup!
