Es war eine stolze Jüdin, Ein wunderschönes Weib, Die hatt eine schöne Tochter, Ihr Haar war schön geflochten, Zum Tanz war sie bereit. "Ach, Tochter, liebste Tochter, Das kann fürwahr nicht sein. Es wär ja eine Schande Im ganzen jüdschen Lande, Wenn du zum Tanz wollst gehn." Die Mutter tät ihr rufen, Die Tochter nahm ein' Sprung, Sie sprang wohl in die Straßen, Wo Herrn und Schreiber saßen, dem Schreiber sprang sie zu. "Ach, Schreiber, liebster Schreiber, Schreib meiner Mutter ein' Brief. Schreib mich und dich zusammen, Zusammen in Gottes Namen, Daß in ein Christin bin." Ach hübsch und feine Jüdin, Das kann fürwahr nicht sein. Du musst dich lassen taufen, Marianchen sollst du heißen, Herzallerliebste mein!

Hi havia una jueva superba, una dona meravellosa, que tenia una xamosa filla, els seus cabells estaven ben trenats, ella era a punt per anar a la dansa. “Ai, filla, filla estimada, veritablement, això no pot ser. Seria una vergonya a tot el país jueu que tu anessis a la dansa.” La mare la va cridar, la filla d’un bot, va saltar al carrer on hi havia homes i escrivans, ella saltà prop d’un escrivà. “Ai, escrivà, estimat escrivà, escriu una carta per a la meva mare. Escrivim ensems, tu i jo, ensems en nom de Déu, que jo sóc una cristiana.” Ai, bella i jove jueva, veritablement això no pot ser. Tu t’has de fer batejar, t’hauràs de dir Mariana, estimada del meu cor!
