Dem Kellner:
 Setze mir nicht, du Grobian,
 Mir den Krug so derb vor die Nase!
 Wer  ...  Wein bringt, sehe mich freundlich an,
 Sonst trübt sich der Eilfer im Glase.

Dem Schenken:
 Du zierliches Mädchen, du komm herein,
 Was stehst du  ...  da auf der Schwelle?
 Du sollst mir künftig der Schenke sein,
 Jeder Wein ist dann schmackhaft und helle.

Turks taveernelied

(Sung text translation for setting by F. Mendelssohn)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

Aan de ober:
Zet mij toch niet, jij lomperik,
Daar die kruik zo ruw op de tafel!
Wie mij wijn brengt, kijke mij vriend'lijk aan,
Anders troebelt de wijn in de glazen.
 
Aan degene die het cadeau geeft:
Jij wondermooi meisje, kom jij eens fijn,
Wat sta je daar zo op de drempel?
Jij moet voortaan maar mijn schenkster zijn,
Elke wijn is dan smaak'lijk en helder.
