Hallo, nun brennt mir wieder Die Sonne auf den Hut, Und jüngt mir alle Glieder Und heizt mein träges Blut. Ihr Burschen und ihr Frauen Im Land Italia, Ich werde euch wiederschauen, Ich bin euch selig nah. Ihr Bursche, nun will ich zechen Mit euch den schwarzen Wein Und wieder bei Singen und Stechen Euch Kamerade sein. Ihr Frauen von Rom und Venedig, Nun fallet mir um den Hals, Ich bin noch so jung und ledig Und lustig wie ehemals!

Hello, now again the sun Burns down upon my hat, And rejuvenates all my limbs And heats up my sluggish circulation. You lads and you ladies In the land of Italy, I shall see you again, I am blissfully close to you. You lads, I now wish to imbibe The dark wine with you And in singing and competition Be your comrade. You ladies of Rome and Venice, Now fall upon my neck, I am still as young and single And merry as ever!
