Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE
Es steht ein' Lind' in jenem Tal,
ach Gott, was tut sie da?
Sie will mir helfen trauren, trauren,
daß ich mein' Lieb' verloren hab',
daß ich mein' Lieb' verloren hab'.

Es sitzt ein Vöglein auf dem Zaun,
ach Gott, was tut es da?
Es will mir helfen klagen, klagen,
daß ich mein' Lieb' verloren hab',
daß ich mein' Lieb' verloren hab'.

Es quillt ein Brünnlein auf dem Plan,
ach Gott, was tut es da?
Es will mir helfen weinen, weinen,
daß ich mein' Lieb' verloren hab',
daß ich mein' Lieb' verloren hab'.
