Weh, wie zornig ist das Mädchen!
Wer mag mit ihr reden, wer?
Im Gebirge geht das Mädchen
Ihrer Herde hinterher,
Ist so schön, als wie die Blumen,
Ist so zornig, wie das Meer.
Weh, wie zornig ist das Mädchen!
Wer mag mit ihr reden, wer?

Woe, how wrathful is the maiden
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Woe, how wrathful is the maiden!
Who can speak with her, who?
The maiden walks in the mountains
Behind her flock,
She is as beautiful as the flowers,
As wrathful as the sea.
Woe, how wrathful is the maiden!
Who can speak with her, who?
