Du sagst mir, daß ich keine Fürstin sei; Auch du bist nicht auf Spaniens Thron entsprossen. Nein, Bester, stehst du auf bei Hahnenschrei, Fährst du aufs Feld und nicht in Staatskarossen. Du spottest mein um meine Niedrigkeit, Doch Armut tut dem Adel nichts zu Leid. Du spottest, daß mir Krone fehlt und Wappen, Und fährst doch selber nur mit Schusters Rappen.

Tu me dis que je ne suis pas une princesse ; Toi non plus tu ne descends pas du trône d'Espagne. Non, mon cher, tu te lèves au chant du coq, Tu vas à travers champs et ce n'est pas en carrosse. Tu te moques de moi pour mon manque d'élévation, Mais la pauvreté ne fait pas souffrir les nobles. Tu te moques de ce que je n'ai ni couronne ni blason, Et toi-même tu chevauches à pied.
