Translated by H. Melvin Symmank

The maid walks in the yard,
The maid walks in the yard,
Walks around in a fine little skirt.
Walks around in a fine little skirt.

Combed much her little head,
Combed much her little head,
Placed on the little head the little crown.
Placed on the little head the little crown.

The beloved he rides into the yard,
The beloved he rides into the yard,
On his brown little horse.
On his brown little horse.

As he rode he thought to himself,
As he rode he thought to himself,
What he will say to the dear one.
What he will say to the dear one.

Speaking then a little word or two,
Speaking then a little word or two,
Where then a barn was for his little horse.
Where then a barn was for his little horse.

'The beloved now led through the house,
The beloved now led through the house,
Led him to father's new barn.
Led him to father's new barn.’

'Scattered before him the fine oats,
Scattered before him the fine oats,
Also poured in for him the water.
Also poured in for him the water.’

The maid that poured the water for him,
The maid that poured the water for him,
Reached out her beautiful hand.
Reached out her beautiful hand.

From her golden little ring,
From her golden little ring,
Which she had received
Which she had received;

Which the beloved had given her,
Which the beloved had given her,
Which he alone had purchased.
Which he alone had purchased.
