Blühender Schleh, blühender Schleh, Schimmerst an Hecken und Rainen; Leg' ich mich nieder in Gras und in Klee, Möchte recht bitterlich weinen. Blühender Schleh, blühender Schleh, Mahnst mich an bräutliches Linnen. Wenn ich im Arme des Andern sie seh', Mein' ich, ich komme von Sinnen. Blühender Schleh, blühender Schleh, Wahr' dich vor Kälte und Wetter! Mir hat die Blüthen getödtet der Schnee, Sturmwind pfeift durch die Blätter.

Blossoming blackthorn, blossoming blackthorn, You shimmer upon hedge and marge; When I lie down in grass and clover, I would like to weep quite bitterly. Blossoming blackthorn, blossoming blackthorn, You remind me of bridal linen. When I see her in the arms of another, I feel that I shall lose my mind. Blossoming blackthorn, blossoming blackthorn, Beware of cold and inclement weather! The snow has killed the blossoms for me, A tempest whistles through the leaves.
