Original text and translations

German.png German text

ich armes weyb/
   das mir so seer
   mein stoltzer leyb/
   die flöch grimlich zu beysen/
   und nur die leylach bscheyssen/
   wüst ich dar für ein fündt/
   wie ichs vertreyben kundt.
  
So geb ich etwas drumb/
   mein man ligt wie ein stumb/
   in seinen bschissen schuhen/
   thut mein kein floch nit suchen/
   es stinkt im das maul/
   recht wie ein acker gaul.

(A somewhat free translation.)

I poor woman must complain loudly
   the crowd mock my beautyfull body
   and slandourously smirch me.
   If I only knew why and how
   so I could end this slander.
  
Mayhapp It has something to do with This:
  My husband always just lays like a log
  with his manure cowerd shoes on.
  Can the crowd berate me for this
  His breath stinks
  just like a manureditch.
