So hab' ich doch die ganze Woche Mein feines Liebchen nicht geseh'n, Ich sah es an einem Sonntag Wohl vor der Türe steh'n: Das tausendschöne Jungfräulein, Das tausendschöne Herzelein, Wollte Gott, wollte Gott, ich wär' heute bei ihr! So will mir doch die ganze Woche Das Lachen nicht vergeh'n, Ich sah es an einem Sonntag Wohl in die Kirche geh'n: Das tausendschöne Jungfräulein, Das tausendschöne Herzelein, Wollte Gott, wollte Gott, ich wär' heute bei ihr!

我這禮拜 沒見到我的情愛的, 我在星期日見到她, 站在門前: 那位千倍美麗的女孩, 那顆千倍美麗的心, 但願神啊,我今天能夠陪她! 因此這整個禮拜, 我的笑容還沒停, 我在星期日見到她 走向教堂去: 那位千倍美麗的女孩, 那顆千倍美麗的心, 但願神啊,我今天能夠陪她!
