(From Burk)
Translated by Ed Bernthal

Now go past – jjedwo! every courtyard,
Now go past every courtyard,
Only go past Schymans courtyard.

‘But how shall I go past –jjedwo! but go,
But how shall I go past, but go,
Since I have two loved ones in there?’

‘The one is sewing me – jjedwo! a shirt,
The one is sewing me a shirt,
The other one fine sleeves for me.’

‘The one who sews – jjedwo! me a shirt,
The one who sews me a shirt,
She should also be my loved one.’

‘The one who sews – jjedwo! me sleeves,
The one who sews me sleeves,
Shall be my comrade.’

As this was happening at – jjedwo! the master’s castle,
As this was happening at the master’s castle,
He was going to shoot the lover.

“Don’t shoot, O master – jjedwo! my lover,
Don’t shoot, O master my lover,
But rather shoot the wild game.”

“So that we can have a grand – jjedwo! feast for us,
So that we can have a grand feast for us,
On every fine Sunday.”

Then noblemen rode – jjedwo! by for her,
Then noblemen rode by for her,
But did not find the girl at home.

Today is already the – jjedwo! third day
Today is already the third day,
That she was taken away from us.

But she was not –jjedwo! brought back,
But she was not brought back,
And she will never be brought back to us.
