Steht mein Liebster auf dem Hügel, Komm' ich, bellt sein Hund nach mir; Hündchen, Hündchen, laß dein Bellen, Komm' zum Herrn, und nicht zu dir. Deinen Herren will ich haben, Liebes Hündchen, sei nur gut; Haben will ich deinen Herren: O was bellst du so in Wut!

When my beloved stands upon the hill [And] I come along, his dog barks at me; Little dog, little dog, leave off your barking, I come to your master and not to you. It is your master whom I want, Dear little dog, only be kind; I want your master: Oh, why do you bark in such anger!
