Auf dem Hügel nah' dem Städtchen Ragt die Linde himmelwärts, Ihr zu Füßen weilt ein Mädchen, Weint und klagt in heißem Schmerz. Ihren Liebsten muß sie sehen, Blanker Waffe angetraut; Liebchen will vor Leid vergehen Ob der neuen fremden Braut. "Weine nicht, nehm' ich in Schmerzen Auch mein neues Lieb zur Hand; Trennt der Krieg doch nicht die Herzen, Bleiben sie doch beieinand'!"

Upon the hill close to the little town A linden tree stretches up toward heaven, At its foot a maiden tarries, Weeps and laments in deep pain. She is forced to see her beloved, Betrothed to a shiny weapon; The darling wishes to perish from misery Because of the new, strange bride. "Do not weep, though I in pain Take my new beloved in my hand; War does not separate our hearts, They nevertheless remain together!"
