    OSMIN:
    Wer ein Liebchen hat gefunden,
    Die es treu und redlich meint,
    Lohn' es ihr durch tausend Küsse;
    Mach' ihr all das Leben süße,
    Sei ihr Tröster, sei ihr Freund.
    Trallalera, trallalera.

    If you should ever find a sweetheart
    Who will live for you and you alone,
    Give her at least a thousand kisses,
    And make her life a dream come true,
    As her comfort and very best friend!
    Trallalera, trallalera!
