Mädel, laß das Stricken -- geh, thu den Strumpf bei Seite heute; das ist was für alte Leute, für die Jungen blüht der Klee! Laß, mein Kind, komm, mein Schätzchen! siehst du nicht, der Abendwind schäkert mit den Weidenkätzchen . . . Mädel, liebes, sieh doch nicht immer so bei Seite heute; das ist was für alte Leute, junge seh'n sich ins Gesicht! Komm, mein Kind, sieh doch, Schätzchen: über uns der Abendwind schäkert mit den Weidenkätzchen . . . Siehst du, Mädel, war's nicht nett so an meiner Seite heute? Das ist was für junge Leute, alte gehn allein zu Bett! -- Was denn, Kind? weinen, Schätzchen? Nicht doch -- sieh der Abendwind schäkert mit den Weidenkätzchen . . .

Mignonne, laisse tomber le tricot, Aujourd'hui, mets de côté tes bas ; Tout ça, c'est pour les vieux, Pour les jeunes, le trèfle est en fleur ! Laisse, mon enfant, Viens, mon petit trésor ; Ne vois-tu pas le vent du soir Lutiner les chatons du saule ! Mignonne, chérie, ne détourne donc pas Aujourd'hui ton regard ; Tout ça, c'est pour les vieux, Les jeunes se regardent dans les yeux ! Viens, mon enfant, Vois donc petit trésor ; Au-dessus de nous le vent du soir Lutine les chatons du saule ! Vois-tu, mignonne, n'était-ce pas bien Aujourd'hui,comme ça, à mon côté ? Tout ça, c'est pour les jeunes, Les vieux vont tout seuls au lit. Alors quoi, mon enfant ? Tu pleures, petit trésor ? Pas possible ! vois le vent du soir Lutiner les chatons du saule.
