Words by Andrew Zeiler and Carl August Kocor
Original translation by Henry Jordan

1. For so many hours until their weddings
Were announced by their parents.
Whenever in their soft hand the maidens
Excitedly fell in love.

2. For so many hours until their weddings
The lads kissed them,
All of them tenderly,
They were in love with them.

3. Today it's not like that,
But just the opposite.
Love, it is so proud
One's first love is rarely that, for sure.

Refrain:
One's first love is truly love
Rarely it happens to us.
It will never remain.
Lasting first love for everyone is rare.

4. When love is praised,
The praise is sufficient,
It is sufficient.
One's first love will remain.
Forever, it will.
One's first love will remain forever
In us it will remain.
