(From Lohsa)
Translated by Ed Bernthal

Hans, he runs down to the town
Swings the basket back and forth
Behind him, lovely Hannchen is watching
Laughs so much about him.

‘Don’t laugh at me, lovely Hannchen
I am surely your ever loyal one
From Stetten to Berlin there
Is just one mile!’

‘One glass of beer itself is better there
Than a can of wine here
More beautiful are the old women there
Than the young girls here.’
