Trotting, trotting along on four brown horses,
Wanting to return to Weissenberg.

Back to Weissenberg they came,
The horses going to the farm.

He went for a stroll at the market,
He bought something for his sweetheart at the fair,

A piece of cloth three feet long, for around a Thaler,
That is certainly a beautiful piece of cloth!

It’s going to become a pretty skirt,
With a pretty border on it.

Here you have, my lovely sweetheart,
The gift I give you from this year’s fair.

Remain unwaveringly true to me,
Until our wedding day.
