Frauenchor: Ei Mühle, liebe Mühle, Wie schau'st so schmuck du heut'! Du trägst geziert mit Blumen Ein sonntägliches Kleid. Du hast selbst deine Giebel Mit Kränzen reich geschmückt, So froh hast du noch nimmer In's Tal hineingeblickt. Ei Waldbach, wie manierlich Trollst du am Haus vorbei! Du fleissig Rad der Mühle, Bist du heut' arbeitsfrei, Ei Knappen, liebe Knappen, Wie seht so schmuck ihr heut', Ihr tragt, verziert mit Bändern, Das schönste Sonntagskleid. Ihr habt die neuen Hüte Mit Blumen reich geschmückt Und sie kokett manierlich Schräg auf den Kopf gedruckt. Ei Knappen - Warum feiern, Am Wochentage heut', Das fleiss'ge Rad der Mühle, Und ihr, die fleiss'gen Leut?

Cor de dones: Ei, molí, estimat molí, avui se’t veu ben decorat! Portes, ornat amb flors, un vestit de diumenge. Fins i tot el teu frontis l’has abundantment decorat amb garlandes, tan joiós no havies mai esguardat vers la vall. Ei, rierol del bosc, que finament t’esquitlles pel davant de la casa! Tu, laboriosa roda del molí, avui no has de treballar, ei, mossos, estimats mossos, que ben mudats se us veu avui! Porteu, ornats amb cintes, els més bonics vestits de diumenge. Porteu els nous capells ricament ornats amb flors i, amb coqueteria i finesa, inclinats al cap. Ei, mossos – Per què feu festa avui en dia feiner, la laboriosa roda del molí i vosaltres, la gent treballadora?
