Our translations: CAT DUT DUT ENG FRE

Mit Lust tät ich ausreiten
durch einen grünen Wald,
Darin da hört ich singen,
drei Vögelein wohlgestalt.

So sein es nit drei Vögelein,
es sein drei Fräulein fein.
Soll mir das ein nit werden,
so gilt es das Leben mein.

Das erste heißet Ursulein,
Das andre Bärbelein
Das dritt hat keinen Namen,
Das soll des Jägers sein.

Er nahm sie bei den Händen,
Bei ihrer schneeweißen Hand,
Er führts des Walds ein Ende,
Da er ein Hüttlein fand.

Dri Vogeltjes

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

See original

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

 Te paard ging ik vol hartstocht
 dwars door 't groene woud
 waarin ik hoorde zingen
 drie vogeltjes fraai gebouwd.

 Maar 't zijn niet drie vogeltjes
 het zijn drie meisjes fijn
 wordt één niet gauw het mijne
 dan doet mij 't leven pijn.

 Katrientje heet de één
 de tweede Marileen
 en naamloos loopt de derde
 al met de jager heen.

 Hij neemt haar blanke handen
 en voert haar dan gezwind
 tot waar de bomen wijken
 en hij een hutje vindt.
