(From: Doergenhauen)
Translated by Ed Bernthal

Katrinka from Medergurig
Has already run away from her man.

Hurriedly, she ran all the way to Malschwitz,
Then rested on a hill.

Resting her feet on the hill,
She looked up into God’s sun.

‘Even though the sun is shining at noon,
My sons will not have had their breakfast.’

‘My sons, eat your breakfast soon,
So that you will grow up handsome and big for me.

‘So that you can serve kings and masters,
And also could gladly serve the Roman Caesar.’
