Habt ihr meinen Schatz gesehen, wenn er von den Bergen kommt, wenn er von den hohen Bergen kommt zu seinem kleinen Schatz? O du lieber, lieber Schatz! Eine Feder auf dem Hute und im Knopfloch einen Strauß. Von dem Adler ist die Feder und der Strauß, der ist für mich! O du lieber, lieber Schatz! Wenn er wieder heimwärts wandert, trägt er wieder einen Strauß; diesen Strauß hab' ich gebunden, dass er mein gedenken mag. O du lieber, lieber Schatz! Rosmarin und Alpenveilchen, die verwelken gar zu schnell, darum will mein Schatz nun kommen bald mit einem Hochzeitsstrauß! O du lieber, lieber Schatz!

Have you seen my own true lover
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Chosen for Diff
Have you seen my own true lover, coming from the mountain's height, coming from the lofty mountains, e'en to glad his maiden's heart? O my dearest, dearest love! In his hat a feather wearing and a nosegay at his breast; from an eagle's wing's the feather and the nosegay is for me. O my dearest, dearest love! When again he homeward wanders, he another nosegay wears, one which I myself have bound him, that he e'er may think of me. O my dearest, dearest love! Flow'rs from mountains and from valley, all too soon they fade away, but ere long my faithful lover will a wedding nosegay bring! O my dearest, dearest love!
