Amor, Amor, lieber Seemann
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Italian (Italiano) 
Our translations:  ENG
Amor, Amor, [lieber]1 Seemann,
Mir dein [Schiffchen]2 leih'st du schon, 
Auf die Meerflut muß ich fahren, 
Denn mein Mädchen ist entfloh'n.

Wenn ich sie ersegelt habe, 
Sie gefangen nehm' ich mir; 
Um den Nacken will ich grimmig 
Eine Kette binden ihr.

Um den Hals will ich ihr knüpfen 
Schöne Dinge hier zur Hand:
Eine Lilie, [vier]3 Sterne, 
Und ein Kreuzchen von Demant.
