Die grüne Hopfenranke,
sie schlängelt auf der Erde hin.
Die junge, schöne Dirne,
so traurig ist ihr Sinn!
Du höre, grüne Ranke!
Was hebst du dich nicht himmelwärts?
Du höre, schöne Dirne!
Was ist so schwer dein Herz?
Wie höbe sich die Ranke,
der keine Stütze Kraft verleiht?
Wie wäre die Dirne fröhlich,
wenn ihr das Liebste weit?

The bean plant’s tendrilled beanstalk
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
The bean plant’s tendrilled beanstalk
snakes low along the ground – it creeps!
The young and pretty lass
lies in a heap – she weeps!
Now hear me, creepy beanstalk,
should you not aim to climb up high?
And, surely, pretty girls should
rejoice instead of cry?
But how can beans climb upwards
without support by pole or bar?
And how can girls be happy
if their beloved is far?
