Chispa (Mezzosopran) : Es war ein Bruder Liederlich In Andalusiens Landen, Der sich auf Hau'n und Degenstich Wie keiner sonst verstanden. Halloh, halloh, mal so. Soldaten : Halloh, halloh, mal so. Chispa : In einem Spielhaus fand er dann Zur Nacht was ihn erboste, Chinilla nicht, sein Liebchen an, Wie sie mit Carlo koste [Hallo, hallo]1, mal so. Soldaten : Hallo, hallo, mal so. Chispa : Der Carlo war ein Wetterstrahl, Aus Wolkenschacht geboren, Er sprang vom Stuhl und schlug den Stahl Dem Kömmling um die Ohren. Hallo, hallo, mal so. Soldaten : Hallo, hallo, mal so.
1 [sic]; the different writing of "hallo" from here on follows the score.

Chispa (Mezzosoprano) : Il y avait un loustic dévergondé Dans le pays d'Andalousie, Qui pour cogner et donner des coups d'épée s'y Entendait mieux que quiconque. Hello, hello, c'était ainsi. Soldats : Hello, hello, c'était ainsi. Chispa : Dans une maison de jeux il découvrit Une nuit quelque chose qui le mit en rage, N'était-ce pas Chinilla, sa bien-aimée, Comme elle roucoulait avec Carlo. Hello, hello, c'était ainsi. Soldats : Hello, hello, c'était ainsi. Chispa : Carlo était comme un éclair Né d'un banc de nuages, Il bondit de son siège et frappa de son épée L'intrus sur les oreilles. Hello, hello, c'était ainsi. Soldats : Hello, hello, c'était ainsi.
