Translated by Ed Bernthal

A youth went into the forest,
Happened upon a hazel bush,
Juedewoj,
Happened upon a hazel bush.

He picked the ripe nuts,
Left the green ones stand,
Juedewoj,
Left the greens ones stand.

He danced with a pretty girl,
Then took her home,
Juedewoj,
Then took her home.

Sat her on a chair,
Gave her his clean hand,
Juedewoj,
Gave her his clean hand.

Tell me now, girl,
What you want from the market,
Juedewoj,
What you want from the market.

Sweetheart, buy yourself a veil,
A white veil for me,
Juedewoj,
A white veil for me.
