(From: Wittichenau)
Translated by Ed Bernthal

Tonight it was very dark, so
You could not see any path,
You could not see any path.

But when I came to my girl,
I could not get to her,
I could not get to her.

But then I found a ladder,
I put it up to the window,
I put it up to the window.

I put it up to the high window,
To the window which was closed,
To the window which was closed.

But the young one got up
And let the youth come in,
And let the youth come in.

Till the old mother heard it
And started to scream loudly,
And started to scream loudly.

But I jumped out of the window,
Out of the high window,
Out of the high window.

I broke my arm and my leg,
The arm at the shoulder blade,
The leg at the knee.

And I never again went there
To my dear sweetheart,
To my dear sweetheart.
