Verschmähte Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch)
A Bam kann oft blühen
Und werd't [dabei]1 alt,
Und a Eisen oft glühen,
Und werd't wieder kalt.
Grad i hab' mei Leben
Auf an Oanzigen g'wendt,
Und der hat mi g'miden,
[Ißt]2 bin i am End.
[Ißt]2 bin i wie d'Kerzen
Am Seelenaltar,
De stathin verbrenna
Auf Grabtuch und Baar.

Spurned love
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
A tree can blossom often
And grows old as it does so,
And an iron can glow often,
And grows cold again.
I have only just dedicated my life
To [loving] one person,
And he has shunned me;
Now I am at the end.
Now I am like the candles
At the funeral altar,
That simply burn away
Upon shroud and bier.
