Warnung

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA

Männer suchen stets zu naschen,
Läßt man sie allein,
Leicht sind Mädchen zu erhaschen,
[Weiß]¹ man sie zu überraschen;
Soll das [zu verwundern]² sein?
[Mädchen]³ haben frisches Blut,
Und das Naschen schmeckt so gut.

Doch das Naschen vor dem Essen
Nimmt den Appetit.
Manche kam, die das vergessen,
Um den Schatz, den sie besessen,
Und um ihren Liebsten mit.
Väter, läßt's euch Warnung sein:
[Sperrt die Zuckerplätzchen ein!
Sperrt die jungen Mädchen ein!]⁴

Avvertimento

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)

Gli uomini cercano sempre di mangiucchiare,
se le si lascia sole, 
le ragazze sono facili da catturare,
si sa come coglierle di sorpresa;
questo vi meraviglia?
Le ragazze sono ingenue,
e mangiucchiare piace tanto...

Ma mangiucchiare prima di mangiare
fa passare l'appetito.
Certuni lo dimenticano, 
per il tesoro che possiedono,
anche per la loro cara;
Signori padri, un avvertimento:
chiudete a chiave gli zuccherini,
chiudete a chiave le figliole!
