Und die mich trug im [Mutterleib]1, Und die mich schwang im Kissen, Die war ein [schön frech braunes]2 Weib, Wollte nichts vom Mannsvolk wissen. Sie scherzte nur und lachte laut, Und ließ die Freier stehen: Möcht' lieber sein des Windes Braut, [Denn]3 in die Ehe gehen! Da kam der Wind, da nahm der Wind Als Buhle sie gefangen: Von dem hat sie ein lustig Kind [In ihren Schoß empfangen]4.

I la que em portava en braços maternals i la que m’omplia de petons, era una dona bella, alegre i morena que no volia saber res dels homes. Ella bromejava i reia sorollosament i deixava plantats els pretendents. “M’estimaria més ser la núvia del vent abans d’anar a casori!” I vingué el vent, i el vent la captivà com un amant, i d’ell va concebre un joiós infant, jo, el jove Volker.
