Im Volkston
Language: German (Deutsch)
Habt ihr meinen Schatz gesehen, wenn er von den Bergen kommt, wenn er von den hohen Bergen kommt zu seinem kleinen Schatz? O du lieber, lieber Schatz! Eine Feder auf dem Hute und im Knopfloch einen Strauß. Von dem Adler ist die Feder und der Strauß, der ist für mich! O du lieber, lieber Schatz! Wenn er wieder heimwärts wandert, trägt er wieder einen Strauß; diesen Strauß hab' ich gebunden, dass er mein gedenken mag. O du lieber, lieber Schatz! Rosmarin und Alpenveilchen, die verwelken gar zu schnell, darum will mein Schatz nun kommen bald mit einem Hochzeitsstrauß! O du lieber, lieber Schatz!

Have you seen my own true lover
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Have you seen my own true lover, coming from the mountain's height, coming from the lofty mountains, e'en to glad his maiden's heart? O my dearest, dearest love! In his hat a feather wearing and a nosegay at his breast; from an eagle's wing's the feather and the nosegay is for me. O my dearest, dearest love! When again he homeward wanders, he another nosegay wears, one which I myself have bound him, that he e'er may think of me. O my dearest, dearest love! Flow'rs from mountains and from valley, all too soon they fade away, but ere long my faithful lover will a wedding nosegay bring! O my dearest, dearest love!
