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.

Met lust ging ik uit rijden

(Sung text translation for setting by E. Lassen)

See original

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

Met lust ging ik uit rijden
Te paard door 't groene woud.
Daarin, daar hoord' ik zingen
Drie vogeltjes welgebouwd.

Och neen, het zijn geen vogeltjes,
Het zijn drie meisjes fijn.
Zal ik dat ene niet krijgen,
Mijn dood zal dat zeker zijn.

Het eerste, dat heet Ursulijn,
Het and're Barbelijn,
Het derde heeft geen naam nog,
Dat moet van de jager zijn.
