from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Siegfried Kapper (1821 - 1879)

Mädchen, wenn ich von dir ziehe
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Slovak (Slovenčina) 
Mädchen, wenn ich von dir ziehe
In den wilden Krieg hinaus,
Wirst du aus dem Fenster schauen 
Auf den langen Zug heraus.

Und ich lass' ein Lied mir spielen,
Toll, mit gellem Paukenschlag, 
Daß ich nimmermehr es höre,
Wie du klagst und weinst mir nach.
