by Heinrich Seidel (1842 - 1906)

Ja, im Wald ist's schön zu gehen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ja, im Wald ist's schön zu gehen, 
Wo die grünen Bäumen stehen, 
Bunte Blumen wachsen da. 
Traleri, Tralera! 

Als ich mich nun emsig bückte 
Und die schönen Blumen pflückte, 
Stand ein junger Jäger da. 
Traleri, Tralera! 

O, wie ist er nett gewesen, 
Half mir fleissig Blumen lesen, 
Und die schönsten fand er ja.
Traleri, Tralera! 

Aber, wenn ich sollt gestehen, 
Was noch weiter ist geschehen, 
O, wie schämte ich mich da! 
Traleri, Tralera!
