Text:
�Ist dir dein Liebchen ungetreu,
so nimm es nicht zu schwer.
Es bl�ht so manche Rose noch,
die gern gebrochen w�r!�

(If your sweetheart is unfaithful,
don�t take it too seriously.
There is many a rose blooming out there,
that would love to be picked.)

A Landsknecht was a feudal serf used for military purposes by his master. These �soldiers� were often traded between landowners and were, in a sense, the equivalent of modern mercenaries, with the important difference that they were not free to choose their employer.
