[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 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.
