(From Wittichenau)
Translated by H. Melvin Symmank

And when you now see the morning dawning,
Yes, yes, dawning,
The soldiers approach into the land.
The soldiers approach into the land.

They pass onto the lordly garden,
Yes, yes, the garden,
Where roses and flowers bloom.
Where roses and flowers bloom.

But as I come into the unfamiliar,
Yes, yes, the unfamiliar,
I thought there appeared further on a house.
I thought there appeared further on a house.

As I to the house continued,
Yes, yes, continued,
And I held my word.
And I held my word.

And as I again came toward the house,
Yes, yes, toward the house,
A beautiful sweetheart stood at the door.
A beautiful sweetheart stood at the door.

Oh you my lovely beautiful sweetheart,
Yes, yes, beautiful sweetheart.
From the heart you please me.
From the heart you please me.

"What yet do I need to please you,
Yes, yes to please,
I have another already for a long time.
I have another already for a long time."

"I have another more handsome and cuter,
Yes, yes, cuter,
And one kinder in addition.
And one kinder in addition."

He then pulled his sword from the sheath,
Yes, yes, the sheath.
And stabbed the beautiful sweetheart in her heart.
And stabbed the beautiful sweetheart in her heart.

"Oh dear God in heaven,
Yes, yes, in heaven,
How bitter is thus the death.
How bitter is thus the death."

You young wives and young ones all,
Yes, yes, all,
You take an example from this.
You take an example from this.

If one happens to love two lads,
Yes, yes, loves,
That is not done well.
That is not done well.
