Well, OK:

I work all night, I work all day, to pay the tax I have to pay, Ain’t it sad.
And still there never seems to be a single guilder left for me, That’s too bad.
In my dreams I do know how,
If I steal a herd of cows,
I wouldn’t have to work at all, I’d fool around and have a ball...

Cattle, cattle, cattle
We've won the battle
In the rich thane’s world.
Cattle, cattle, cattle
How we'll prattle
In the rich thane’s world.
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a herd of cattle
It’s a rich thane’s world...
