Este mes de mayo, mi verde abrigo,
este mes de mayo, yo vestiré.
Muy temprano me levantaré,
este lindo, lindo día de mayo.
Muy temprano me levantaré.
Un salto, dos saltos, tres saltos,
a la calle llegaré,
para ver si a mi amigo encontraré.
Que me quite el vestido le diré;
cuando me desvista, lo besaré.
German translation
In diesem Monat Mai
werde ich mein grünes Kleid anziehen.
Am frühen Morgen werde ich aufstehen,
in diesem schönen Mai.
Ein Sprung, zwei Sprünge, drei Sprünge
werde ich auf die Straße machen
zu sehen, ob ich meinen Freund erblicke.
Ich sage ihm, daß er mich entkleiden soll,
Wenn er mich entkleidet, will ich ihn ... küssen.
