Early one morning, just as the sun was rising,
I heard a maid sing in the valley below.
"Oh, don't deceive me, oh, never leave me,
How could you use a poor maiden so?"

 ... 

Remember the vows that you made to your Mary,
Remember the bow'r where you vowed to be true.
"Oh, don't deceive me, oh, never leave me.
How could you use a poor maiden so!"

Varhain eräänä aamuna juuri kun aurinko...
 (Sung text translation for setting by P. Grainger)
 See original
Language: Finnish (Suomi)  after the English 
Varhain eräänä aamuna juuri kun aurinko oli nousemailsillaan,
kuulin neidon laulavan alhaalla laaksossa:
"Ethän petä minua, ethän koskaan jätä minua!
Miten voisit kohdella tyttö-parkaa niin?

 ... 

Muista pyhät lupaukset, jotka annoit omalle Maryllesi,
muista neitsytkammioni, jossa vannoit olevasi uskollinen;
Ethän petä minua, ethän koskaan jätä minua!
Miten voisit kohdella tyttö-parkaa niin?
