Ihrer Herde hinterher,
Ist so schön, [als]2 wie die Blumen,
Ist so zornig, wie das Meer.
Weh, wie zornig ist das Mädchen!

Woe, how wrathful is the maiden
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Woe, how wrathful is the maiden!
[Who can speak with her, who?]1
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?]1
