Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT ENG FRE TUR
Das Köhlerweib ist trunken
Und singt im Wald;
Hört, wie die Stimme gellend
Im Grünen hallt!
Sie war die schönste Blume,
Berühmt im Land;
Es warben Reich' und Arme
Um ihre Hand.
Sie trat in Gürtelketten
So stolz einher;
Den Bräutigam zu wählen,
Fiel ihr zu schwer.
Da hat sie überlistet
Der rote Wein -
Wie müssen alle Dinge
Vergänglich sein!
Das Köhlerweib ist trunken
Und singt im Wald;
Wie durch die Dämmrung gellend
Ihr Lied erschallt!

Kömürcünün karisi sarhoş
Language: Turkish (Türkçe) after the German (Deutsch)
Kömürcü kadın sarhoş olmuş
Ve ormanda şarkı söylüyor;
Dinleyin, sesi nasıl da çıngır
Yeşilliklerde çınlıyor.
O çiçeklerin en güzeliydi,
Ünlüydü memleketinde;
Zengini de fakiri de
Ona talip oluyordu.
Zincir takılarıyla dolanırdı
Hep gururla etrafta;
Damadı seçmek ama
Zor geliyordu ona.
Ne var ki oyun oynadı
Kırmızı şarap ona –
Bütün herşey nasıl da
Geçici olmak zorunda!
Kömürcü kadın sarhoş olmuş
Ve ormanda şarkı söylüyor;
Dinleyin, sesi nasıl da çıngır çıngır
Yeşilliklerde çınlıyor.
