Und ein Bach und ein Steg, Durch den Wald geht der Weg, Durch den Wald auf die Höh'n, Und da blüht Tausendschön. Und da blüht es am Bach, Schaut dem Wasserlein nach, -- Ei, versuch's doch einmal, Spring herab mit in's Thal. Von dem Berg durch den Wald, Bei dem Steg bist du bald, Bei dem Steg steht ein Haus Und ein Bursch' schaut heraus. Bei dem Haus halte still, Weil er sagen dir will: "Lieber Schatz, komm' herein, -- Komm', hier pflanz' ich dich ein!" --

And a brook and a path, The path goes through the woods, Through the woods up to the heights, And there, amaranth blooms. And there it blooms beside the brook, Gazes after the [flowing] water, -- Ah, why don't you try it once, Leap down into the valley with it. From the mountain through the woods, You'll soon be at the pathway, Beside the pathway stands a house And a lad looks out from it. Stop by the house, Because he wishes to tell you: "You dear darling, come in, -- Come, here I shall plant you!" --
