Die verlassene Fischersbraut
Language: German (Deutsch)
In der Ferne geht sein Nachen,
Und sein Netze blinkt.
Mag er treulos meiner lachen,
Wenn sie drüben winkt.
Dort im Laub die wilden Tauben
Kennen Falschheit nicht,
Mag die Dirne alles glauben,
Was er ihr verspricht.
Mag er [heißen sie sein Liebchen,]1
Wie er's mit mir trieb, -
Komm, mein krankes, bleiches Bübchen,
Komm, es wird [so]2 trüb.

The forsaken bride of the fisherman
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
In the distance I see his barque moving,
And his net glistens.
May he laugh at me faithlessly,
When she beckons yonder.
There in the foliage the wild doves
Know not falsity;
May that lass believe everything
That he promises her.
May he call her his beloved,
As he called me, -
Come, my sickly, pale little boy,
Come, it is [growing so]1 dark.

1 Hermann: "already growing"
