Our translations: CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE IRI
Mein Mädel hat einen Rosenmund,
Und wer ihn küßt, der wird gesund;
O du! o du! o du!
O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein,
Du la la la la!
Du läßt mir keine Ruh!
Die Wangen sind wie Morgenröt
Wie sie steht überm Winterschnee.
O du, o du, o du!
O du, schwarzbraunes Mägdelein, du
lalalalala!
Du läßt mir keine Ruh!
Dein Augen sind wie die Nacht so schwarz,
Wenn nur zwei Sternlein funkeln drin;
O du! o du! o du!
O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein,
Du la la la la!
Du läßt mir keine Ruh!
Du Mädel bist wie der Himmel gut,
Wenn er über uns blau sich wölben tut;
O du! o du! o du!
O du schwarzbraunes Mägdelein,
Du la la la la!
Du läßt mir keine Ruh!

My lassie's mouth is like a rosebud
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
My lassie's mouth is like a rosebud
and he who kisses it will thrive on it.
Oh you, oh you, oh you!
Oh you my darkbrown lassie
You lalalala, you lalalala
I can't stop thinking about you.
Your eyes are as black as the night,
with two stars sparkling in them.
Oh you, oh you, oh you!
Oh you my darkbrown lassie
You lalalala, you lalalala
I can't stop thinking about you.
My lass you are as pure as heaven
arching blue above us.
Oh you, oh you, oh you!
Oh you my darkbrown lassie
You lalalala, you lalalala
I can't stop thinking about you.
