Obre, dóna’ns l’ou de Pasqua, ei, Roseta, i porta’ns beguda fresca, ei, Roseta, alegra’t brava minyona! Venim del Bensberg, ei, Roseta, allà els pagans atacaren la muntanya, ei, Roseta, alegra’t brava minyona! Volien prendre la fortalesa, ei, Roseta, eren hostes malignes, ei, Roseta, alegra’t brava minyona! Atacaren els portals i les muralles, ei, Roseta, hi caigué una pluja de fletxes, ei, Roseta, alegra’t brava minyona! I quan totes les fletxes s’hagueren llançat, ei, Roseta, plovien pedres de les muralles, ei, Roseta, alegra’t brava minyona! Un gran nombre de bohemis, ei, Roseta, davallaren a la bonica vall del Wupper, ei, Roseta, alegra’t brava minyona! El senyor Hans era allà en la marxa, ei, Roseta, ell sabia com es cacen els ocells, ei, Roseta, alegra’t brava minyona! La ciutat a la riba del Wupper, ei, Roseta, s’anomenà Leichelingen, ei, Roseta, alegra’t brava minyona!
