Mädchenlied
 (Sung text for setting by A. Schoenberg)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Sang ein Bettlerpärlein 
Am Schenkenthor,
Zwei geliebte Lippen 
An meinem Ohr.

Schenkin, süße Schenkin,
Kredenz dem Paar,
Ihren Dürsten biete 
Die Labung dar! --

Und ich bot sie willig,
Doch der böse Mann
Biß mir wund die Lippen
Und lachte dann:

Ritzt der Gast dem Becher 
Ein Zeichen ein,
Heißt's: er ist zu eigen 
Nur ihm allein.
