Heissa Kathreinerle deutsche Übersetzung
von Regensburger Domspatzen

Heya Katreinerle, lace up your shoes,
Gather up your (long) skirt, spare no effort.
Diddle, duddle daddle, shrum shrum shrum,
the jumping already goes round and round
Heya, Katreinerle, come along, hurry up!


Spin like a top, gingerly to the dance!
Braids a'flying, the wreath is spinning!
Diddle, duddle, daddle shrum shrum shrum
Merrily round and round in a circle we go
Keep whirling, my girl, in the festive lights!

Today, everybody is merry and gay, tomorrow it'll all be over.
When the lights' sheen is dimming, we'll all go home.
Diddle, duddle, daddle, shrum shrum shrum,
Tomorrow, with much huffing and puffing,
Mrs. Janitor will sweep up the dance floor!
