Translated by Margot Hendricks

Him:
Where did my dear yellow dun horse go
On which I trotted?
Where did my beloved maid go
Whom I loved so much?

I chased it to exhaustion
And I did not get her;
I chased him to exhaustion
And I did not get her.

Her:
Oh, where did my nights go,
Which I spent awake?
Oh, where did my nights go,
Which I spent awake?

I sewed them into the hankie
Into the silky hankie,
Woven into the decoration,
In diamond shaped decorations.
