Es redet und träumet die Jugend so viel, Von Tänzen, Galloppen, Gelagen, Auf einmahl erreicht sie ein trügliches Ziel, Da hört man sie seufzen und klagen. Bald schmerzet der Hals, und bald schmerzet die Brust, Verschwunden ist alle die himmlische Lust, "Nur dießmahl noch kehr' mir Gesundheit zurück!" So flehet vom Himmel der hoffende Blick! Jüngst wähnt' auch ein Fräulein mit trübem Gefühl, Schon hätte ihr Stündlein geschlagen. Doch stand noch das Rädchen der Parze nicht still, Nun schöner die Freuden ihr tagen Drum Freunde, erhebet den frohen Gesang, Es lebe die teure Irene noch lang! Sie denke zwar oft an das falsche Geschick, Doch trübe sich nimmer ihr heiterer Blick.

El jovent parla i somia tant en balls, galops i xerinoles, i un cop assoleixen el capciós objectiu, llavors se’ls sent sospirar i plànyer-se. Adés els fa mal el coll, adés el pit, de tots ells s’esvaneix el goig encisador, “Si tan sols aquesta vegada se’m restableix la salut!” Així el seu esguard implora al cel ple d’esperança! Recentment, una noia de trista disposició s’imaginà que havia tocat la seva darrera hora. Però la roda del destí no s’havia pas aturat, i ara, per a ella, més formoses les gaubances llostregen. Així doncs, amics, enlaireu els cants alegres, que la nostra estimada Irene visqui molts anys! Encara que sovint pensi en la mala sort, que mai s’enterboleixi el seu serè esguard.
