| Us emene lääre Gygechaschte | From his empty violin case |
| Ziet er sys Inschtrumänt | he pulls his instrument |
| Und dr Chaschte verschwindet | and the case disappears |
| | |
| Und er spilt ohni Bogen | And he plays without bow |
| Es Lied ohni Wort | a song with no words |
| Und er treit e Zilinder | and he wears a top hat |
| Doch drunder ke Chopf | but below there's no head |
| Und ke Hals und ke Lyb | and no neck and no body |
| Keni Arme, no Bei | no arms, no legs |
| Das het er alles verloren im Chrieg | he has lost them all in the war |
| | |
| Und so blybt no sys Lied | And all that remains is his song |
| Nume das isch no da | only that still remains |
| Denn ou e Zilinder | because also a top hat |
| Het er nie kene gha. | he has never owned. |
