3. O guter Geselle! Was willst du? Du sollst uns etwas singen, ein Liedchen.
4. Warum? Ei, warum? Warum nicht? Ei nun, ich will nicht. Warum denn nicht?
5. Weil ich keine Lust hab! Schweig doch stille!
6. Schweig doch du! Du Grobian! Ja, Herr!

3. Oh my fine companion? What do you want? I'd like you to sing a song
4. Why? Why should I? Why not? Because I don't want to. Why don't you want to?
