Mir ist's zu wohl ergangen
Language: German (Deutsch) after the German (Deutsch)
Mir ist's zu wohl ergangen, Drum ging's auch bald zu End, Jetzt bleichen meine Wangen, Das Blatt hat sich gewend't. Die Blumen sind erfroren, Erfroren Veil und Klee, Ich hab' mein Lieb verloren, Muß wandern tief im Schnee. Das Glück läßt sich nicht jagen Von jedem Jägerlein, Mit Wagen und Entsagen Muß drum gestritten sein.

Things went too well for me
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Things went too well for me, Thus it also ended very soon, Now my cheeks are growing pale, Things have changed. The flowers have frozen to death, Violets and clover have frozen, I have lost my love, I must wander in deep snow. Fortune will not allow itself to be pursued By every little hunter, With daring and renunciation One must battle for it.
