L’hússar, tra‑la‑la!

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

L’hússar
tra-la-la!
Per a ell quin és el perill?
El seu amor estimat!
Ella li fa senyals, d’un bot
ell és allà, tra-la-la!

L’hússar
tra-la-la!
Per a ell quin és el perill?
La seva beguda; apa, apa!
Sabre brilla! Sabre beu!
Beu sang! Tra-la-la!

L’hússar
tra-la-la!
Per a ell quin és el perill?
La seva cançó preferida,
el seu cant de regiment,
el cant per dormir, tra-la-la!
