Ach, es sitzt mein Lieb und weint
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ach, es sitzt mein Lieb und weint
Auf dem Stein am einsamen Haus,
Weine nicht, mein Lieb, ich komme,
Und all dein Leid ist aus.

Fremde Länder hab' ich gesehn,
Fremde Mägdlein, fremdes Glück:
Doch dein Auge hat mir gezeigt
Den Weg in die Heimath zurück.
