Schatzerl klein, Mußt nit traurig sein, Eh das Jahr vergeht, Bist du mein. Eh das Jahr vergeht, Grünt das Rosmarin, Sagt der Pfarrer laut: Nehmt's euch hin. Grünt der Rosmarin, Grünt der Myrtenstrauß Und der Nagerlstock Blüht im Haus.

Little darling, you must not be mournful; before the year has ended you will be mine. Before the year has ended the rosemary will turn green, and the parson will proclaim: "You are man and wife." The rosemary will turn green, the myrtle sprigs will turn green, and the gillyflower will bloom inside the house.
