Original text and translations

German text Wir gehn nun,`wo der Tudelsack In unsrer Schenke Brummt. Und rufen dabei fröhlich aus: Es lebe Dieskau und sein Haus, Ihm Sei Beschert, Was er Begehrt, Und was er sich selbst wünschen mag!

English translation We go now to where the bagpipe in our tavern drones. And as we go we joyfully shout long live Dieskau and his house. May he be given all his desires, all he would wish for himself. Translation by Thomas A. Quinn

French translation Nous allons maintenant ou la cornemuse Bourdonne dans notre taverne; Et nous écrions joyeusement: Vive Dieskau et sa lignée: Que lui soit accordé Tout ce qu'il désire Et ce qu'il peut souhaiter pour lui-même! Translation by Pierre Balascheff
