Trallalla! mein Liebchen!
Was [hast]1 mir nicht gesagt,
Daß krank mein Liebster worden,
Hätt' ich Leckerbißchen
[Zur Labung ihm]2 geboten:
Vom Mückchen, das Rippenstückchen,
Vom Fliegelein, das Seelchen klein,
Vom Krebse zwei Bein',
Ein Becherlein mit Branntewein,
Ihm zum Geschenke,
Daß satt sich tränke
Der Liebste mein!

Pendant la danse
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Tralala ! mon bien-aimé !
Pourquoi ne m'as-tu pas dit
Que mon amour était malade ?
Des gourmandises je lui aurais
Offert pour son réconfort :
D'un moucheron, un morceau de côte,
D'une petite mouche, la petite âme,
D'un crabe, les deux jambes,
Un petit gobelet d'eau-de-vie,
Pour lui offrir,
Qu'il boive à satiété,
Mon bien-aimé !
