Die grüne Hopfenranke, sie schlängelt auf der Erde hin. Die junge, schöne Dirne, so traurig ist ihr Sinn! Du höre, grüne Ranke! Was hebst du dich nicht himmelwärts? Du höre, schöne Dirne! Was ist so schwer dein Herz? Wie höbe sich die Ranke, der keine Stütze Kraft verleiht? Wie wäre die Dirne fröhlich, wenn ihr das Liebste weit?

De groene hoprank zij kronkelt over de grond; Het jonge, mooie meisje, hoe treurig is zij gestemd! Hoor eens, groene rank, waarom klim je niet hemelwaarts? En hoor eens, mooi meisje, waarom is je hart zo zwaar? Hoe zou de rank ook klimmen die geen stok heeft tot steun; Hoe zou het meisje vrolijk zijn wanneer haar liefste ver weg is?
