from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Johann Gottfried Herder (1744 - 1803)

Jörru, Jörru, darf ich kommen?
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Estonian (Eesti keel) 
Jörru, Jörru, darf ich kommen?
Nicht o Liebchen heute.
Wärest du doch gestern kommen,
Nun sind um mich Leute.
Aber morgen, früh am Morgen,
Schlankes liebes Aestchen,
Kannst du kommen ohne Sorgen,
Da bin ich alleine.
Wenn der Maienkäfer schwirret
Früh im kühlen Thaue!
Hüpf ich, Liebe, dir entgegen
Weißt, auf jener Aue.
