Leichter Verlust
Language: German (Deutsch)
Ich hab' mein Herz verloren
An ein blondes Mägdelein;
Mein Herz ist jung, sie ist so lieb,
Wie konnt' es auch anders sein.
Ich hab' meinen Hut verloren,
Fort trug ihn mir der Wind,
Er weht' ihn in den Garten
Zu meinem holden Kind.
"Gib mir zurück, mein Liebchen,
Gib mir zurück den Hut.
Mein Herz kannst du behalten,
Es ist dir gar zu gut."

Easy loss
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
I have lost my heart
To a blonde maiden;
My heart is young, she is so dear,
What else could one expect?
I have lost my hat,
The wind carried it off on me,
It blew it into the garden
To my dear child.
"My darling, give me back,
Give me back the hat.
You may keep my heart;
It is all too fond of you."
