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!

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 !
