Unter'm [Machandelbaum]1
Da ist ein Platz, --
Susala -- Dusala --
Da sitzt mein Schatz.
[Sitzt auf dem grünen Gras]2,
Sitzt auf dem grünen Klee.
Hast ja die Augen naß?
Bist ja wie Milch und Schnee?
Susala -- Dusala --
Wo tut's denn weh?
Kommst du so spät zurück?
Nun ist's zu spät fürs Glück.
Kenne dich gar nicht mehr.
Mir ist das Herz verquer,
Susala -- Dusala --
Wollt', tot ich wär'!
Schwarz ist das Grabeloch,
Leb' doch ein Weilchen noch;
[Wart']3 noch bis Sankt Kathrein,
Da will ich um dich frei'n.
Wart' noch bis Sankt Martein,
Da soll die Hochzeit sein!
Susala -- Dusala --
Gib dich darein!

Under the juniper There is a place, -- Susala -- Dusala --1 There sits my darling. [Sits upon the green grass]2, Sits upon the green clover. Your eyes are wet? You are like milk and snow? Susala -- Dusala -- Where does it hurt? Do you return so late? Now it is too late for happiness. I no longer know you at all. My heart is all awry, Susala -- Dusala -- I wish I were dead! The grave is black, Why don’t you live a little while yet; Wait until the feast of St. Catherine, Then I shall woo you. Wait until the feast of St. Martin, That’s when the wedding shall be! Susala -- Dusala -- Resign yourself to it!
