Es fliegt manch Vöglein in das Nest, Und fliegt auch wied'r heraus; Und bist du 'mal mein Schatz gewest, So ist die Liebschaft aus. Du hast mich schlimm betrogen Um schnöden Geldgewinn -- Viel Glück, viel Glück zum reichen Mann! Geh du nur immer hin! Viel Blümlein steh'n im hohen Korn Von roth und blauer Zier, Und hast du eins davon verlorn, So such ein andres dir. Glaub' nicht, daß ich mich gräme Um deinen falschen Sinn -- Ich find' schon einen andern Schatz; Geh du nur immer hin!

Many a little bird flies into the nest, And also flies back out again, And if you were once my sweetheart, The love affair is over. You have betrayed me grievously For the sake of filthy lucre -- Lots of luck, lots of luck with your rich man! Just you take off! Many flowers stand in the high wheat Adorning it with red and blue, And if you have lost one of them, Go look for another one. Do not think that I am troubled By your falseness -- I'll be sure to find another sweetheart; Just you take off!
