Husar: Wohlan! Die Zeit ist kommen! Mein Pferd, das muß gesattelt sein! Ich hab' mir's vorgenommen, geritten muß es sein! Geh' du nur hin! Ich hab' mein Teil! Ich lieb' dich nur aus Narretei! Ohn' dich kann ich wohl leben, ja leben! Ohn' dich kann ich wohl sein! So setz' ich mich auf's Pferdchen, und trink' ein Gläschen kühlen Wein, und schwör's bei meinem Bärtchen: dir ewig treu zu sein! Mädchen: Du glaubst, du bist der Schönste wohl auf der ganzen weiten Welt, und auch der Angenehmste! Ist aber weit, weit gefehlt! In meines Vaters Garten wächst eine Blume drin: so lang' will ich noch warten, bis die noch größer ist. Und geh' du nur hin! Ich hab' mein Teil! Ich lieb' dich nur aus Narretei! Ohn' dich kann ich wohl leben, ohn' dich kann ich wohl sein! Beide: Du denkst, ich werd' dich nehmen! Das hab' ich lang' noch nicht im Sinn! Ich muß mich deiner schämen, wenn ich in Gesellschaft bin!

Hussar: Well, the time has come! My horse, it must be saddled! I've resolved it, and away must I ride. Off you go! I have my part! I love you only out of foolishness! Without you, I can well live, yes, live! Without you I can well exist! So I'll sit upon my horse and drink a glass of cool wine, and swear by my beard to be eternally true to you! Maiden: You believe you are just the handsomest man in the whole wide world, and also the nicest! But you are far, far off the mark! In my father's garden grows a flower: I will wait only until it grows bigger. And off you go! I have my part. I love you only out of foolishness! Without you, I can well live, Without you I can well exist! Both: You think I'll take you! I will not think of that for a long time! I must be ashamed of you when I am in society!
