Available translation(s): ENG
Schmückte mit Laub ein Wäldchen sich, Bruder und Schwester waren drin, Sprach zu dem Bruder die Schwester so: «Bruder, was kamst so lang' Du nicht?» - «Wäre gekommen längst zu Dir; Aber die Fremde läßt mich nicht, Sie, die Fremde, das gute Kind. Sattele oft mein gutes Roß; Aber die Fremde sattelt's ab!» Gürte den scharfen Säbel um, Aber die Fremde schnallt ihn ab; "Wohin, o Liebster, gehest Du? Breit und lang ist die Ebene! Tief ist das trübe Wasser, tief! Gehe nicht, Liebster, gehe nicht!"»
