Mein Mädel hat einen Rosenmund, Und wer ihn küßt, der wird gesund; O du! o du! o du! O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein, Du la la la la! Du läßt mir keine Ruh! Die Wangen sind wie Morgenröt Wie sie steht überm Winterschnee. O du, o du, o du! O du, schwarzbraunes Mägdelein, du lalalalala! Du läßt mir keine Ruh! Dein Augen sind wie die Nacht so schwarz, Wenn nur zwei Sternlein funkeln drin; O du! o du! o du! O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein, Du la la la la! Du läßt mir keine Ruh! Du Mädel bist wie der Himmel gut, Wenn er über uns blau sich wölben tut; O du! o du! o du! O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein, Du la la la la! Du läßt mir keine Ruh!

Mar rós atá a béilín mín
Tabhair póigín di má tá tú tinn
Is tú is tú is tú
Is tú, is tú mo chailín donn
Seinn lá lá lá lá
Táim ciaptha lán de bhuairt!
A leiceann tá mar dheargnéal
Is sneachta geal ar bharr an tsléi’.
Is tú is tú is tú
Is tú, is tú mo chailín donn
Seinn lá lá lá lá
Táim ciaptha lán de bhuairt!
Mar oíche dhorcha atá do shúil’
Is gan ach réalt nó dhó ‘lonrú
Is tú is tú is tú
Is tú, is tú mo chailín donn
Seinn lá lá lá lá
Táim ciaptha lán de bhuairt!
A spéirbhean án ó neamh anuas
An spéir ’na cuar geal gorm chugainn
Is tú is tú is tú
Is tú, is tú mo chailín donn
Seinn lá lá lá lá
Táim ciaptha lán de bhuairt!
