Ich ging einmal spazieren
Language: German (Deutsch)
[Ich ging einmal spazieren]1
Am Meeresstrande:
Ach, da verlor mein Herz ich
Im tiefen Sande.
Da fragt' ich an dem Strande
Die Schiffer alle:
Daß du es trügst im Busen
Sagten mir alle.
Nun komm' ich dich zu bitten,
Bei Lieb' und Treue.
Ich ohne Herz, du aber
Hast deren zweie!
Und weißt du was du thun kannst,
Du liebe Kleine:
Behalt dir meines, schenke
Du mir das deine.

Once I went a‑walking
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
[Once I went a-walking
Upon]1 the seashore:
Ah, there I lost my heart
In the deep sand.
I asked along the shore
All the shipmen:
That you were carrying it within your bosom,
That’s what they all told me.
Now I have come to ask you,
By love and faith.
I have no heart, but you,
You have two of them!
And do you know what you can do,
You dear little one:
You keep mine for yourself and
Give me yours.
