Am Kreuzweg da lausche ich, wenn die Stern' und die Feuer im Walde verglommen, und wo der erste Hund bellt von fern, da wird mein Bräut'gam herkommen. La, la, la, la. "Und als der Tag graut', durch das Gehölz sah ich eine Katze sich schlingen, ich schoß ihr auf den nußbraunen Pelz, wie tat die weit überspringen! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Schad' nur ums Pelzlein, du kriegst mich nit! mein Schatz muß sein wie die andern: braun und ein Stutzbart auf ung'rischen Schnitt und ein fröhliches Herze zum Wandern. La, la, la, la.

Al crocevia sto in ascolto, quando le stelle E i fuochi nel bosco si stanno spegnendo, e dove abbaia per primo un cane in lontananza da lì il mio promesso sposo sta arrivando. La, la, la, la. "E mentre albeggiava, attraverso il boschetto Vidi sgusciare via un gatto, lo colpii sul pelo bruno, balzò in avanti con un gran salto! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Peccato per il mio pelo, ma non mi prendi! Deve essere come gli altri il mio amore: bruno e con una barba quadrata all'ungherese e allegro e vagabondo il suo bel cuore. La, la, la, la.
