from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Wilhelm Rudow (1858 - 1899)

Der Liebsten Haus
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Romanian (Română) 
Kam zu meiner Liebsten Haus,
Doch sie war nicht drin, nicht drauß,
Ging des Weges einsam weiter,
Kam bald an ein frisches Grab,
Um mich her der Herbstwind seufzte,
Blätter fielen leis herab.

Weh ich Armer, weh ich Armer!
Hier liegt alles, was ich habe!
Läg' ich doch bei meiner Liebsten
In dem kühlen, stillen Grabe!
