Von der Tante Maria
 (Sung text for setting by J. Kinkel)

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Kennt ihr die Tante schlank und hold,
Mit Augen blau, mit Haar von Gold,
In dieser Stadt die allerschönste Dame?
O sucht nicht lang.
Maria ist ihr Name.

Als von Paris sie wiederkam,
Zu unsrer Lust, Paris zum Gram,
Hat sie uns Kinderchen viel Zuckerguts gegeben;
Drum singen wir:
Maria sie soll leben.
