Ein junger Bauer Der Schäfer putzte sich zum Tanz Mit bunter Jacke, Band und Kranz, Schmuck war er angezogen, Schon um die Linde war es voll, Und alles tanzte schon wie toll. Chor der Bauern Juchhe! Juchhe! Juchheisa! Heisa! He! Bauer So ging der Fiedelbogen. Er drückte hastig sich heran, Da stieß er an ein Mädchen an Mit seinem Ellenbogen; Die frische Dirne kehrt' sich um Und sagte: nun das find' ich dumm! Chor Juchhe! Juchhe! Juchheisa! Heisa! He! Bauer Seid nicht so ungezogen! Doch hurtig in dem Kreise ging's, Sie tanzten rechts, sie tanzten links Und all Röcke flogen. Sie wurden rot, sie wurden warm Und ruhten atmend Arm in Arm. Chor Juchhe! Juchhe! Juchheisa! Heisa! He! Bauer Und Hüft' an Ellenbogen. Und tu' mir doch nicht so vertraut! Wie Mancher hat nicht seine Braut Belogen und betrogen! Er schmeichelte sie doch bei Seit' Und von der Linde scholl es weit! Chor Juchhe! Juchhe! Juchheisa! Heisa! He! Bauer Geschrei und Fiedelbogen!

CONTADINI Per recarsi al ballo si adorna il pastore, giubba, ghirlanda, nastri di vario colore, tutto davvero elegante. Attorno al tiglio si radunano tutti ballano tanto da sembrare matti Zum pa! Zum pa! Zum papa! Zum! Pa! Al ritmo del violino. Lui si butta rapido fra la folla e subito urta a una bella fanciulla spingendola col gomito. La giovane fanciulla gira il visino e dice: che modi da cretino! Zum pa! Zum pa! Zum papa! Zum! Pa! Cerca di essere meno villano. Il ballo intanto procedeva in tondo, girando a destra, poi nel verso opposto, era tutto un volare di sottane. I visi rossi, caldi e sudati si fermano ansando, ancora abbracciati. Zum pa! Zum pa! Zum papa! Zum! Pa! I fianchi ai gomiti ben appoggiati. Non ti prendere troppa licenza! Ché gli uomini spesso la fidanzata hanno lasciato dopo averla ingannata! Lui poi, però, infine l'ha convinta ad appartarsi, e ormai dal tiglio, lontano, Zum pa! Zum pa! Zum papa! Zum! Pa! S'odono grida e violino.
