Aus dem dunklen Tor Wallt kein Zug von Mücklein; Horch! daraus empor Schallt Trompeterstücklein, Platz für die schönen Husaren! Milchmädchen bei Seite! Drückt euch ans Brückengeländer! Es ziehn in die Weite Lustige Knaben. Fremde! wie das Hengstlein Den frohen Lauf tanzt, Wie sein dickes Wänstlein Der Hauptmann aufpflanzt. Seien wir munter und denken wir nicht An den weißen Stein, Der ihr Füßelein trug, Wenn am Brunnen die Liebste Stand bei der Freundin. Hei! vielleicht ein Windstoß Am Brunnen wirbelt, Daß, der sonst gelind floß, Stäubt und verzwirbelt, Tröste dich, Herzallerliebste! Die bausigen Backen Wird dein Husärlein Dem Gotte der Winde zerhacken!

De la porte sombre Surgit un flot qui n'est pas de moucherons ; Écoutez ! de là Retentit un petit morceau de trompette, Place pour les beaux hussards ! Les laitières sur le côté ! Poussez-vous contre les parapets du pont ! Ils sortent dans l'immensité, Les joyeux garçons ! L'étranger ! comme le petit étalon Danse joyeusement sur le chemin, Comme son petit ventre gras Est arboré par le capitaine. Soyons gais et ne pensons pas À la pierre blanche Qui porte son petit pied Quand au puits la bien-aimée Se tenait près de son ami. Ah ! peut-être un coup de vent Tourbillonne autour du puits De sorte que l'eau qui sans lui coulait doucement Est pleine de poussière et de remous, Console-toi, bien-aimée de mon cœur ! Ses joues rebondies Par ton petit hussard Seront coupées en morceau, au dieu du vent !
