Wißt ihr, [wenn]1 mein Kindchen am allerschönsten ist? Wenn ihr süßes Mündchen scherzt und lacht und küßt. Mägdelein, du bist mein, inniglich küß ich dich, Dich erschuf der liebe Himmel einzig nur für mich! Wißt ihr, [wenn]1 mein Liebster am besten mir gefällt? Wenn in seinen Armen er mich umschlungen hält. Schätzelein, du bist mein, inniglich küß ich dich, Dich erschuf der liebe Himmel einzig nur für mich!

Raad, wanneer mijn blondje het allermooiste is: Als haar lieve mondje kirt en lacht en kust. Meisje fijn, jij bent mijn, dus krijg jij ‘n kus van mij, Ja, jou schiep de lieve hemel enkel maar voor mij! Weet dat ‘k van mijn liefste ’t allermeeste houd, Als hij in zijn armen mij vast omstrengeld houdt. Schatje fijn, jij bent mijn, dus krijg jij ‘n kus van mij, Ja, jou schiep de lieve hemel enkel maar voor mij!
