from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Marion
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English 
Willst du gehn zu den Schafen, Marion?
Komm, bring sie mit mir zur Ruh;
Die Sonne scheint so süß, o Marion,
doch nicht halb so süß wie du!
 
Gar ein herziges Kind ist Marion,
die Freud aus den Augen ihr schaut.
Wie gern wär ich der Bräutgam, Marion,
o Marion, wärst du die Braut!
