Unter die Soldaten ist
Ein Zigeunerbub' gegangen,
Mit dem Handgeld ging er durch,
Und morgen muß er hangen.
Holten mich aus meinem Kerker,
Setzten auf den Esel mich,
Geißelten mir meine Schultern,
Daß das Blut floß auf den Weg.
Holten mich aus meinem Kerker,
Stießen mich ins Weite fort,
Griff ich rasch nach meiner Büchse,
Tat auf sie den ersten Schuß.

Un giovane zigano
Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
Un giovane zigano
si era arruolato,
scappò coi soldi dell'ingaggio,
e domani sarà impiccato.
Vennero in carcere a prendermi,
in groppa a un asino fui posto,
mi frustarono sulla schiena,
perdevo sangue lungo il percorso.
Vennero in carcere a prendermi,
mi spinsero assai lontano,
lesto afferrai il mio schioppo,
a loro sparai per primo.
