(From many places)
Translated by John Buerfeind

You have always said,
You don’t have any money.
Now we demand:
Where do you keep the money?

It is in the bed chamber, in the corner,
In the small bundle:
There are the gold pieces, three
Gold pieces are there.

{also}

Had you bragged, that
you have money.
Now we’ve got you,
Now we demand:
Were do you have it?

It is in the bed chamber, in the corner,
In the small bundle.
Now that you got me,
Now that you demand:
There it is.


No known music.
