Kennst du das einsame Hemmed?
Flattertata, flattertata.
Der 's trug, ist baß verdämmet!
Flattertata, flattertata.
Es knattert und rattert im Winde.
Windurudei, windurudei.
Es weint wie ein kleines Kinde.
Windurudei, windurudei.
Das ist das einsame
Hemmed.

Connais-tu la chemmise solitaire ?
Voltigela, voltigela.
Qui la porte est diablement damné !
Voltigela, voltigela.
Ça claque et crépite dans le vent.
Ventdela, ventdela.
Ça pleure comme un petit enfant.
Ventdela, ventdela.
C'est la solitaire
chemmise.
