Translation by Therese Albertine Luise von Jacob (1797 - 1870), as Talvj
Дјевојка ружици
Language: Serbian (Српски)
Ах! моја водо студена! И моја ружо румена! Што с' тако рано процвала? Немам те коме тргати: Ако б' те мајци тргала, У мене мајке не има; Ако б' те шеји тргала, Сеја се моја удала; Ако б' те брату тргала, Брат ми је ош'о на војску; Ако б' те драгом тргала, Драги је од мен' далеко: Преко три горе зелене, Преко три воде студене.

Mädchen und Rose
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Serbian (Српски)
Ach! mein kühler Wasserquell! Ach! meine Rose, rosenroth! Was doch blühtest so früh du auf, Sollt' ich dich brechen, o Rose mein? Habe keinen, dem ich dich gäb'! Pflückt' ich dich für mein Mütterlein: Mütterlein ruht im Grabe tief! Bräch' ich dich für die Schwester gern: Schwester gieng mit dem fremden Gemahl! Bräch' ich dich für den Bruder wohl: Fort in den Krieg der Bruder zog! Bräch' ich dich, ach! für meinen Freund: Ach! der Freund ist weit und fern! Über drei grüne Gebirge, weit! Über drei kühle Gewässer, breit!
