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.
