Mit Lust tät ich ausreiten durch einen grünen Wald, Darin da hört ich singen, drei Vögelein wohlgestalt. So sein es nit drei Vögelein, es sein drei Fräulein fein. Soll mir das ein nit werden, so gilt es das Leben mein. Das erste heißet Ursulein, Das andre Bärbelein Das dritt hat keinen Namen, Das soll des Jägers sein. Er nahm sie bei den Händen, Bei ihrer schneeweißen Hand, Er führts des Walds ein Ende, Da er ein Hüttlein fand. Da lagens beieinander bis in die dritte Stund'. "Kehr' dich, schön's Lieb, herumb, beut mir dein'n roten Mund!"

Alegre cavalcava a través d’una verda forest, a dins vaig sentir cantar tres ocellets ben formats. No eren però tres ocellets sinó tres belles donzelles. Si una d’ells no serà meva això em costarà la vida. La primera es deia Úrsula, la segona Bàrbara, la tercera que no tenia nom, havia de ser per al caçador. Ell l’agafà per les mans, per les seves mans blanques com la neu, i la portà al marge del bosc on ell trobà una petita cabana. Allà varen jaure ensems fins a tres hores. “Gira’t bell amor, ofereix-me la teva boca vermella com botí!”
