Ouvrez, donnez-nous l'œuf de Pentecôte, Eh, petite rose, Passe-nous une boisson fraîche, Eh, petite rose, Réjouis-toi, vaillante gamine ! Nous venons de Bensberg, Eh, petite rose, La-bas les païens attaquèrent la montagne, Eh, petite rose, Réjouis-toi, vaillante gamine ! Ils voulaient prendre la forteresse, Eh, petite rose, C'étaient de méchants convives, Eh, petite rose, Réjouis-toi, vaillante gamine ! Ils attaquèrent portes et murailles, Eh, petite rose, Il tombait une averse de flèches, Eh, petite rose, Réjouis-toi, vaillante gamine ! Et quand toutes les flèches furent tirées, Eh, petite rose, Les pierres de la muraille se mirent à pleuvoir, Eh, petite rose, Réjouis-toi, vaillante gamine ! Nombre de bohémiens descendaient, Eh, petite rose, Descendaient dans la belle vallée de la Wupper, Eh, petite rose, Réjouis-toi, vaillante gamine !
