Unter die Soldaten ist
Ein Zigeunerbub' gegangen,
Mit dem Handgeld ging er durch,
Und morgen muß er hangen.
Holten mich aus meinem Kerker,
Setzten auf den Esel mich,
Geißelten mir meine Schultern,
Daß das Blut floß auf den Weg.
Holten mich aus meinem Kerker,
Stießen mich ins Weite fort,
Griff ich rasch nach meiner Büchse,
Tat auf sie den ersten Schuß.

Un noi gitano se’n
Language: Catalan (Català)  after the German (Deutsch)
Un noi gitano se’n
anà enmig dels soldats,
s’escapolà amb els diners de la paga
i demà serà penjat.
Em tragueren del calabós,
i em posaren damunt d’un ase,
m’assotaren a l’espatlla fins
que la sang s’escolava pel camí.
Em tragueren del calabós,
m’empenyeren lluny,
prest vaig agafar el meu fusell
i els vaig disparar el primer tret.
