Annotation

The lyrics of the song vary. 
Basic text (some alternatives in brackets):
Taler, Taler, du musst wandern,
von der einen Hand (dem einen Ort) zur (zum) andern.
Das ist schön (das ist herrlich), das ist schön, (O wie schön, o wie schön,)
Taler lass dich ja nicht seh’n (niemand darf das Ringlein seh’n)
