You tell me that I am no princess
Hugo Wolf
You tell me that I am no princess;
You are also not descended from the Spanish throne.
No, my dear fellow, you get up at cock's crow,
You ride to the field, and not in a state carriage.
You mock me for my lowliness,
But poverty does not harm nobility.
You jeer, that I am wanting crown and coat-of-arms,
And you yourself only ride on Shank's pony!
