Esik, esik, esik, Csókeső esik; Az én ajakamnak Nagyon jólesik. Az eső, az eső Villámlással jár; A szemed, galambom, Villámló sugár. Mennydörög, mennydörög A hátunk megett; Szaladok, galambom, Jön az öreged.

Es regnet, regnet, regnet -- Doch Küsse nur regnet's auf dich! O Täubchen, wie ist dieser Regen So erquickend und wonniglich. Und wenn es regnet, regnet, Da zucken auch Blitze darein; O Täubchen, ich kenne die Blitze, Deine blitzenden Aeugelein. O weh, nun muß es auch donnern! Das Donnerwetter ist nah! O Täubchen, ich suche das Weite, Denn, hu, dein Alter ist da.
