from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Josef Wenzig (1807 - 1876)

Mädchenlied
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Czech (Čeština) 
Chosen for Diff
Ährelein, ach Ährelein,
ei, wer wird euch binden?
Mein Geliebter weilet fern,
will ihn schon noch finden!

Mütterchen, ach Mütterchen,
bin von losem Blute;
nimm das Beschen, feg' mich rein
von dem Übermute!

Meine Goldpantöffelein,
bin zu schwer zum Hüpfen;
Mutter, liebes Mutterlein,
will ins Häubchen schlüpfen!

Grüne, junges Eichelein,
frisch auf deinem Plätzchen!
Grolle du, nur du mir nicht,
o mein süßes Schätzchen!
