Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE SPA
Es wollt' ein Mädchen früh aufstehn
Und in den grünen Wald spazieren gehn.

Und als sie nun in den grünen Wald kam,
Da fand sie einen verwund'ten Knab'n.

Der Knab', der war von Blut so rot,
Und als sie sich verwandt, war er schon tot.

"Wo krieg' ich nun zwei Leidfräulein,
Die mein fein's Lieb zu Grabe wein'n?

Wo krieg' ich nun sechs Reuterknab'n,
Die mein fein's Lieb zu Grabe trag'n?

Wie lang' soll ich denn trauern geh'n?
Bis alle Wasser zusammengeh'n?

Ja, alle Wasser gehn nicht zusamm'n,
So wird mein Trauern kein Ende ha'n.
