from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Josef Wenzig (1807 - 1876)

Die Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Moravian (Moravština) 
Wie kommst Du doch, o Liebe, 
Wie kommst Du auf die Welt? 
Du wächsest nicht im Garten, 
Von sä't Dich nicht im Feld.

"Ich werde von selbst geboren,
Das hat gar keine Beschwer,
Und schleiche zwischen den Mädchen
Und jungen Burschen umher."
