Sie: Eia, wie flattert der Kranz, Trauter, komm mit mir zum Tanz! Wollen uns schwingen, Rasch uns erspringen Mitten im wonnigen Glanz, Trauter, komm mit mir zum Tanz! Er: Wehe! wie pocht mir das Herz, Sage, was soll mir der Scherz? Laß dich umschließen, Laß mich zerfließen, Ruhend im seligen Schmerz; Sage, was soll mir der Scherz? Sie: Eia, der Walzer erklingt, Pärchen an Pärchen sich schwingt, Mädchen und Bübchen, Schelmchen und Liebchen; Frisch, wo's am dichtesten springt, Pärchen an Pärchen sich schwingt! Er: Wehe! mir sinket der Arm, Mitten im jauchzenden Schwarm, Wie sie dich fassen, Muß ich erblassen, Möchte vergehen im Harm Mitten im jauchzenden Schwarm. Sie: Eia, wie flattert der Kranz, Heute für alle im Tanz, Flatterig heute, Morgen gescheute, Morgen, o Trauter, dein ganz Heute für alle im Tanz!

She: Eia, look how the ribbons flutter on the wreath - Come dance with me, my dear! Let's swing, Let's leap quickly Into the middle of this delightful brilliance! Come dance with me, my dear! He: Woe, how my heart pounds! Tell me, what jest is this? Let me embrace you, Let me melt away, Resting in blissful pain. Tell me, what jest is this? She: Eia, the waltz is starting: Couple upon couple are swaying, Maidens and lads, Rogues and sweethearts! Quick, let's jump in where the crowd is thick. Couple upon couple are swaying! He: Woe! my arm has dropped In the middle of the jubilant crowd. See how they touch each other! I turn pale... Perhaps I will be hurt In the middle of the jubilant crowd. She: Eia, how the ribbons flutter on the wreath Today, for everyone who is dancing: Swirling about today, Tomorrow gone; Tomorrow, o sweetheart, yours completely, Today, for everyone who is dancing!
