Röslein dreie in der Reihe blühn so rot, Daß der Bursch zum Mädel gehe, ist kein Verbot! Lieber Gott, wenn das verboten wär, Ständ die schöne weite Welt schon längst nicht mehr; Ledig bleiben Sünde wär! Schönstes Städtchen in Alföld ist Ketschkemet, Dort gibt es gar viele Mädchen schmuck und nett! Freunde, sucht euch dort ein Bräutchen aus, Freit um ihre Hand und gründet euer Haus, Freudenbecher leeret aus.

Tre rosse roselline sono fiorite insieme, e il giovane va dalla fanciulla: non è vietato! Buon Dio, se questo fosse proibito, da tempo il bello e vasto mondo non esisterebbe; Restare scapolo è proprio un gran peccato! Ketschkemet, dell' Alföld è la citta più bella, là ci sono tante fanciulle graziose e garbate! Amici miei, sceglietevi una sposina, mettete su casa e la sua mano chiedete, e il calice della gioia, così, vuotate.
