Giovanettini che andate alla guerra Tenete conto del mio innamorato. Badate che non posi l'arme in terra, Perch'alla guerra non c'è mai piú stato. Non me lo fate dormire al sereno: È tanto gentilin, che verrà meno. Non me lo fate dormire alla luna: È tanto gentilin, me lo consuma.

Ihr jungen Leute, die ihr zieht ins Feld, Auf meinen Liebsten sollt ihr Achtung geben. Sorgt, daß er tapfer sich im Feuer hält; Er war noch nie im Kriege all sein Leben. Lasst nie ihn unter freiem Himmel schlafen; Er ist so zart, es möchte sich bestrafen. Lasst mir ihn ja nicht schlafen unterm Mond; Er ginge drauf, er ist's ja nicht gewohnt.
