Translated by Ed Bernthal

The spinning society,
Four sprightly youths,
Four very special,
Very distinguished girls.

You farmer, you rogue you
Just give us something
The cheese from the basket,
And the edible bacon.

Hascha asks himself:
Where do they have good beer?
‘In Bautzen at Fischer’s
They have good beer.’

They have drunk,
They have played,
And beat up Hascha
And put him in stocks.

What should I make,
Of the big lease.
The peas are spoiled,
There is so little corn.

The wife has beat the
The husband with a reel:
The husband stays sitting,
At home on his hinder.

She takes the husband by the chin,
To get him to plow the garden,
To sow it with poppies, poppies,
With nothing but poppies.
