Was doch heut Nacht ein Sturm gewesen, Bis erst der Morgen sich geregt! Wie hat der ungebetne Besen Kamin und Gassen ausgefegt! Da kommt ein Mädchen schon die Straßen, Das halb verschüchtert um sich sieht; Wie Rosen, die der Wind zerblasen, So unstet ihr Gesichtchen glüht. Ein schöner Bursch tritt ihr entgegen, Er will ihr voll Entzücken nahn: Wie sehn sich freudig und verlegen Die ungewohnten Schelme an! Er scheint zu fragen, ob das Liebchen Die Zöpfe schon zurecht gemacht, Die heute Nacht im offnen Stübchen Ein Sturm in Unordnung gebracht. Der Bursche träumt noch von den Küßen, Die ihm das süße Kind getauscht, [Er steht,]1 von Anmut hingerissen, Derweil sie um die Ecke rauscht.

Quelle tempête il y a eu cette nuit, Elle s'est déchaînée jusqu'au petit matin ! Comme ce balayeur malvenu A nettoyé cheminées et ruelles ! Soudain dans la rue arrive une fille Qui à demi intimidée regarde autour d'elle ; Comme les roses que le vent fouette Son petit minois brûle d'agitation. Un beau garçon vient à sa rencontre, Tout à fait ravi, il va s'approcher d'elle : Comme ils se regardent joyeux et embarrassés, Ces extraordinaires fripons ! Il semble demander si la petite chérie A déjà remis en ordre ses tresses Qui cette nuit dans sa chambrette ouverte Ont été dérangées par une tempête. Le garçon rêve encore des baisers Qu'avec lui la douce enfant a échangés, Il est là, enthousiasmé par son charme, Tandis qu'elle file vers le coin de la rue.
