Missä armahani?

Miss' on, kussa minun hyväni,
miss' asuvi armahani,
missä istuvi iloni,
kulla maalla marjaseni?
Ei kuulu ääntävän ahoilla,
lyövän leikkiä lehoissa,
ei kuulu saloilta soitto,
kukunta ei kunnahilta.
Oisko armas astumassa
marjani matelemassa,
oma kulta kulkemassa,
valkia vaeltamassa;
Toisin torveni puhuisi,
vaaran rinnat vastoaisi,
saisi salot sanelemista,
joka kumpu kukkumista,
lehot leikkiä pitäisi,
ahot ainaista iloa.

Wo ist meine Liebste?

Wo wohl, wo ist meine Gute?
Wo weilt meine Allerliebste?
Wo sitzt meines Herzens Freude?
Wo wächst es, mein süßes Beerchen?
Nichts erklinget in den Auen,
keinen hört im Hain man spielen,
hinterm Wald ertönt kein Glöcklein,
und kein Kuckuck ruft vom Hügel.
Würd mein Liebchen sich mir nähern,
würd mein Beerchen sich bescheren,
käm mein Goldstück bald gelaufen,
meine Flamme angewandert,
anders würd mein Horn erschallen,
Hänge würden widerhallen,
hinterm Wald würd sich was regen,
jeder Hügel Kuckuck rufen,
in den Hainen würd man spielen, 
Freude wär in allen Auen.
