from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Georg Pertz (1830 - 1870)

Charlie is my darling
Language: English 
Refrain:
 O Charlie is my darling,
 My darling, my darling;
 O Charlie is my darling,
 The young cavalier.

'Twas on a Monday morning,
When birds were singing clear;
That Charlie to the Highlands came,
The gallant cavalier.

(Refrain)

And many a gallant Scottish chief,
Came round their Prince to cheer,
That Charlie was their darling,
The young cavalier.

(Refrain)

Now up the wild Glen Nevis,
And down by Locky side;
Young Malcom leaves his shealing,
And Donald leaves his bride.

(Refrain)

Charlie ist mein Liebling
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the English 
Refrain:
 O Charlie ist mein Liebling,
 Mein Liebling, mein Liebling;
 O Charlie ist mein Liebling,
 Der junge Kavalier

's war eines Montags morgens,
Hell sang das Vöglein hier,
Da kam ins Land gezogen
Der schmucke Kavalier.

(Refrain)

Und mancher wackre Häupling
Schwang grüßend sein Panier,
Denn Charlie war ihr Liebling,
Der junge Kavalier.

(Refrain)

Wohl auf, wohl ab den Bergkamm,
Wohl auf, wohl ab das Tal;
Und Haus und Hof ließ Malcom
Und Donald sein Gemahl.
