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.

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.
