Ein Ständchen Euch zu bringen kam ich her, Wenn es dem Herrn vom Haus nicht ungelegen. Ihr habt ein schönes Töchterlein. Es wär' Wohl gut, sie nicht zu streng im Haus zu hegen. Und liegt sie schon im Bett, so bitt' ich sehr, Thut es zu wissen ihr von meinetwegen, Daß ihr Getreuer hier vorbeigekommen, Der Tag und Nacht sie in den Sinn genommen, Und daß am Tag, der vierundzwanzig zählt, Sie fünfundzwanzig Stunden lang mir fehlt.

He vingut per cantar-vos una serenata si l’amo de la casa no hi veu cap inconvenient. Teniu una formosa filla. Estaria bé de no guardar-la a casa massa estrictament. I si ella ja és al llit, si us plau, feu-li saber de part meva que el seu fidel amor ha vingut, que pensa en ella dia i nit, i que en el dia, que té vint-i-quatre hores, per vint-i-cinc la trobo a faltar.
