Die grüne Hopfenranke,
sie schlängelt auf der Erde hin.
Die junge, schöne Dirne,
so traurig ist ihr Sinn!
Du höre, grüne Ranke!
Was hebst du dich nicht himmelwärts?
Du höre, schöne Dirne!
Was ist so schwer dein Herz?
Wie höbe sich die Ranke,
der keine Stütze Kraft verleiht?
Wie wäre die Dirne fröhlich,
wenn ihr das Liebste weit?

Het groene hopperankje
Language: Dutch (Nederlands)  after the German (Deutsch)
Het groene hopperankje,
Het slingert over d' aarde zich.
Het jonge mooie meisje,
Hoe treurig is het wicht!
Kom luister, groene hoprank,
Waarom kruip jij niet hemelwaarts?
Kom luister, mooi lief meisje!
Waarom toch zo bezwaard?
Hoe kan een rank opklimmen,
Die zonder steun onmachtig is?
Hoe kan een meisje lachen,
Als zij haar liefste mist?
