Brauner Bursche führt zum Tanze Sein blauäugig schönes Kind; Schlägt die Sporen keck zusammen, Csardasmelodie beginnt. Küßt und herzt sein süßes Täubchen, Dreht sie, führt sie, jauchzt und springt; Wirft drei blanke Silbergulden Auf das Zimbal, daß es klingt.

Le garçon brun conduit à la danse Sa belle amie aux yeux bleues ; Il fait claquer hardiment ensemble les éperons, L'air de la csardas commence. Il embrasse et presse sur son cœur sa douce colombe, Il la fait tourner, l'entraîne, il jubile et bondit ; Il lance trois florins d'argent brillants Sur la cymbale pour qu'elle résonne.
