Du schönes Fischermädchen,
Treibe den Kahn an's Land;
Komm zu mir und setze dich nieder,
Wir kosen Hand in Hand.

Leg' an mein Herz dein Köpfchen,
Und fürchte dich nicht so sehr,
Trauest du doch sorglos
Täglich dem wilden Meer.

Mein Herz gleicht ganz dem Meere,
Hat Sturm und Ebb' und Fluth,
Und manche schöne Perle
In seiner Tiefe ruht.

Language: Korean (한국어/조선말)  after the German (Deutsch) 
예쁜 어부 아가씨,
배 이리 대시오.
나와 함께 이야기 하오
손잡고 앉아서

머리를 내 가슴에
기대오, 편안하게.
걱정은 던져 두오
저 험한 바다에.

내 가슴 바다처럼
거센 파도치나,
고운 진주도 가득
키우고 있다오.
