(From: Naundorf and Burk)
Translated by Ed Bernthal

The youth combs his golden hair,
The youth combs his golden hair,
Yellow hair with nice curls.

Puts the green wreath on it,
Puts the green wreath on it,
A wreath of small roses.

Drives, drives brown horses,
Drives, drives, brown horses,
Always closer there to Frankfort.

Arriving in Frankfort,
Arriving in Frankfort,
He puts the horses in the inn’s yard.

He goes around in the market,
He goes around in the market,
Buys a coat for his loved one.

The coat was very beautiful,
The coat was very beautiful,
But excessively expensive.

One dollar a yard,
One dollar a yard,
This cloth was very expensive.

Beautifully quilted with satin,
Beautifully quilted with satin,
And trimmed with pretty velvet.
