Es wollt' ein Mädchen früh aufstehn Und in den grünen Wald spazieren gehn. Und als sie nun in den grünen Wald kam, Da fand sie einen [verwund'ten]1 Knab'n. Der Knab', der war von Blut so rot, Und als sie sich verwandt, war er schon tot. "Wo krieg' ich nun zwei Leidfräulein, Die mein fein's [Lieb]2 zu Grabe wein'n? Wo krieg' ich nun sechs Reuterknab'n, Die mein fein's [Lieb]2 zu Grabe trag'n? Wie lang' soll ich denn [trauern]3 geh'n? Bis alle Wasser zusammengeh'n? Ja, alle Wasser gehn nicht [zusamm'n]4, So wird mein [Trauern]5 kein Ende ha'n.

Una muchacha decidió levantarse temprano y fue a dar un paseo por el verde bosque. Y al adentrarse en el verde bosque, encontró allí a un muchacho herido. El chico estaba todo ensangrentado, y cuando ella quiso hacer algo, él ya estaba muerto. «¿Dónde encontraré ahora dos plañideras que lloren a mi dulce amor hasta la tumba? ¿Dónde encontraré ahora seis mozos que lleven a mi dulce amor hasta la tumba? ¿Cuánto tiempo habré de estar de luto? ¿Hasta que todas las aguas confluyan en una? Así es, no todas las aguas fluyen juntas, por lo que mi duelo no tendrá fin.»
