Spinn, spinn, meine liebe Tochter
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Swabian (Schwäbisch)
Spinn, spinn, meine liebe Tochter, Ich kauf dir ein paar Schuh. Ja, ja, meine liebe Mutter, Auch Schnallen dazu; Kann wahrlich nicht spinnen Von wegen meinem Finger, Meine Finger thun weh. Spinn, spinn, meine liebe Tochter, Ich kauf dir ein Paar Strümpf. Ja, ja, meine liebe Mutter, Schön Zwicklen darin; Kann wahrlich nicht spinnen Von wegen meinem Finger, Meine Finger thun weh. Spinn, spinn, meine liebe Tochter, Ich kauf dir einen Mann. Ja, ja, meine liebe Mutter, Der steht mir wohl an; Kann wahrlich gut spinnen, Von all meinen Fingern Thut keiner mir weh.

Chant de la fileuse
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
File, file, ma chère fille, Je t'achèterai une paire de chaussures. Oui, oui, ma chère mère, Et avec des boucles ; À vrai dire, je ne puis filer, C'est à cause de mes doigts, Mes doigts qui me font mal. File, file, ma chère fille, Je t'achèterai une paire de bas. Oui, oui, ma chère mère, Et avec de jolis ornements ; À vrai dire, je ne puis filer, C'est à cause de mes doigts, Mes doigts qui me font mal. File, file, ma chère fille, Je t'achèterai un mari. Oui, oui, ma chère mère, Cela me convient très bien, À vrai dire, je peux bien filer, Car de tous mes doigts, Plus aucun ne me fait mal.
