Da draussen ist ein Garten, Sind viele Blümlein drein, Da will ich deiner warten, Ja warten, Beim hellen Mondenschein. Da ist auch eine Wiesen, Führt mitten durch ein Steg, Dort will ich dich begrüssen, Ja grüssen, Auf deinem Abendweg. Da ist auch eine Lauben Von grünem, jungen Wein, Dort will ich an dich glauben, Ja glauben, Und wunderselig sein. Da ist auch eine Linde Am weiten Wiesenplan, Und wenn ich dich nicht finde, Ja finde, So hänge ich mich dran.

There is a garden out there, There are many flowers in it, There I shall wait for you, Yes, wait, In the bright moonlight. There is also a meadow, A path leads through the middle of it, There I shall greet you, Yes, greet you, During your evening walk. There is also an arbour Of green, young grapevines, There I shall believe in you, Yes, believe, And be wondrously happy. There is also a linden tree Beside the broad plain, And if I do not find you, Yes, find you, Then I shall hang myself on it.
