Language: German (Deutsch)

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.

Over de gewonde jonkman

(Sung text translation for setting by J. Brahms)

Matches original text

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

Er wou een meisje vroeg opstaan
En in het groene woud uit wand'len gaan.
 
En toen zij nu in het groene woud kwam,
Daar vond zij een gewonde man.
.
De jonkman was van bloed zo rood,
En toen zij hem verliet, was hij al dood.
 
Waar tref ik nu twee klaagsters aan,
Die mijn liefs graf
 mee  bewenen gaan?
 
Waar vind ik nu zes ruiters staan,
Die met mijn lief naar 't graf toe gaan?
 
Hoe lang moet ik dan treuren gaan?
Tot alle waat'ren tesamengaan?
 
Ja, alle waat'ren gaan niet tesaam,
Mijn rouw, daar komt dus geen einde aan.
