Trutzlied
 (Sung text for setting by H. von Herzogenberg)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Und bild' dir nur nichts ein im Traum,
Du bist mir viel zu jung.
Ums Kinn noch kaum dir sproßt der Flaum,
Das ist mir nicht genung.

Und wenn ich einen heirathen thu',
Muß sein ein Reiter zu Roß,
Noch eins so lang und breit wie du,
Sein Bart zweier Ellen groß.

Sein Rappe saus't im Windeslauf,
Sein Bart der deckt mich zu,
Ich sitz' vor ihm am Sattelknauf,
Und hinterm Ofen du!
