»Schad' um das schöne grüne Band, Daß es verbleicht hier an der Wand, Ich hab' das Grün so gern!« So sprachst du, Liebchen, heut zu mir; Gleich knüpf' ich's ab und send' es dir: Nun hab' das Grüne gern! Ist auch dein ganzer Liebster weiß, Soll Grün doch haben seinen Preis, Und ich auch hab' es gern. Weil unsre Lieb' ist [immergrün]1, Weil grün der Hoffnung Fernen blühn, Drum haben wir es gern. Nun [schlingst du]2 in die Locken dein Das grüne Band gefällig ein, Du hast ja's Grün so gern. Dann weiß ich, wo die Hoffnung [wohnt]3, Dann weiß ich, wo die Liebe thront, Dann hab' ich's Grün erst gern.

"Jammer toch van die groene band, Dat hij verbleekt hier aan de wand; Ik ben zo dol op groen!", Zo sprak vandaag jij, lieve vrouw. Ik knoop hem los en stuur hem jou: Wees nu maar dol op groen! Al is je minnaar helemaal wit, Dan nog is 't groen waar veel in zit, En ik ook zie het graag. Ja, onze liefd' is altijd groen, En groen heeft ook met hoop van doen; Daarom zien wij het graag. Vlecht nu maar in je haar het lint, Die groene band, zo mooi van tint; Je houdt toch zo van groen. Dan weet ik waar mij toekomst wacht, Dan weet ik, waar de liefde lacht, Pas dan houd ‘k écht van groen.
