(From: Kopschen)
Translated by Ed Bernthal

The girl wandered around in the garden.
Her loved one was passing by the garden.

‘Tell me, girl, what are you looking at,
Tell me, dear child, what are you looking at?’

‘Are you looking at the red apples,
Are you looking at the green leaves?’

“I am not looking at the red apples,
I am not looking at the green leaves.”

“I am not looking at the green leaves.
But I am looking for my beloved friend.”

‘Don’t let it go to your heart, girl,
That your loved one is a rascal.’

‘That your loved one is a rascal.
Yesterday, he promised himself to someone else.’

“It could be that he promised himself to someone else
As he wishes, in the name of the Lord.”

“Everything will still come back to me
When he comes to his senses.”

“His precious life is still so young.
His precious head is still so weak.”

“Malicious persons influenced him
False friends misled him.”

“But I will wish him all the good and the best.
I sincerely wish him good luck.”

“If it will go bad for him it will make me sad.
If it will go good for him I will gladly see it.”

‘Thank you, O thank you, my girl,
That you thought so well of me.’

‘That you wished me all the best.
Soon we will have each other again.’

‘Last year, you were my fine sweetheart.
This year you will be my wedded wife.’
