Warnung
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT DUT ENG FRE ITA
Männer suchen stets zu naschen,
Läßt man sie allein,
Leicht sind Mädchen zu erhaschen,
[Weiß]1 man sie zu überraschen;
Soll das [zu verwundern]2 sein?
[Mädchen]3 haben frisches Blut,
Und das Naschen schmeckt so gut.
Doch das Naschen vor dem Essen
Nimmt den Appetit.
Manche kam, die das vergessen,
Um den Schatz, den sie besessen,
Und um ihren Liebsten mit.
Väter, läßt's euch Warnung sein:
[Sperrt die Zuckerplätzchen ein!
Sperrt die jungen Mädchen ein!]4

Avertissement
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Les hommes cherchent toujours à grignoter,
Si on les laisse seuls,
Ils trouveront facilement une jeune fille à attraper
On sait comment les surprendre ;
Doit-il y avoir une surprise ?
Les jeunes filles ont le sang vif,
Et les friandises ont si bon goût.
Mais la friandise avant le repas
Coupe l'appétit.
Beaucoup qui l'oublient
Outre le trésor qu'elles possèdent,
Perdent leur bien-aimé avec.
Pères, que cela soit un avertissement pour vous :
Enfermez vos sucreries !
Enfermez vos jeunes filles !
