[Wie]1 manches Glas bezahl' ich hier, Und hab' es nicht zerbrochen! Auch nicht ein Küßchen giebst du mir, Und hast so viel versprochen. Und küssest du mich heute nicht, Will ich bis morgen zechen; Und wenn mir die Geduld zerbricht, Mag auch ein Krug zerbrechen.

J'ai payé ici bien des verres Et n'en ai pas brisé. Tu ne m'as pas non plus donné un baiser Et tu en as tant promis. Et si aujourd'hui tu ne m'embrasses pas Je picolerai jusqu'à demain; Et si je perds patience Je pourrais aussi briser une cruche.
