Röslein dreie in der Reihe blühn so rot, Daß der Bursch zum Mädel gehe, ist kein Verbot! Lieber Gott, wenn das verboten wär, Ständ die schöne weite Welt schon längst nicht mehr; Ledig bleiben Sünde wär! Schönstes Städtchen in Alföld ist Ketschkemet, Dort gibt es gar viele Mädchen schmuck und nett! Freunde, sucht euch dort ein Bräutchen aus, Freit um ihre Hand und gründet euer Haus, Freudenbecher leeret aus.

Roosjes, drie ja in een rijtje, bloeien rood, Dat een joch naar ’t meisje gaat, geen die ’t verbood! Lieve God, zou dat verboden zijn, Dan zou onze aard’ al lang verdwenen zijn; ‘Geen vriendin’ zou zonde zijn! ’t Mooiste stadje in Alföld is Kecskemét, Daar vind je veel jonge meisjes, knap en net! Vrienden, zoek je daar een lieve bruid, Vraag haar om haar hand en sticht je eigen huis, Drink de vreugdebeker uit.
