Wer ist denn draußen und wer klopfet an, Der mich so leise, so leise wecken kann? Das ist der Herzallerliebste dein, Steh auf und laß mich zu dir ein! Was soll ich hier nun länger stehn? Ich seh die Morgenröt aufgehn, Die Morgenröt, zwei helle Stern, Bei meinem Schatz, da wär ich gern, bei meiner Herzallerliebsten. Das Mädchen stand auf und ließ ihn ein; Sie heißt ihn auch wilkommen sein. Willkommen, lieber Knabe mein, So lang hast du gestanden! Sie reicht ihm auch die schneeweiße Hand. Von ferne sang die Nachtigall Das Mädchen fing zu weinen an. Ach weine nicht, du Liebste mein, Aufs Jahr sollst du mein eigen sein. Mein Eigen sollst du werden gewiß, Wie's keine sonst auf Erden ist. O Lieb auf grüner Erden. Ich zieh in Krieg auf grüner Heid, Die grüne Heide, die ist so weit. Allwo dort die schönen Trompeten blasen, Da ist mein Haus, von grünem Rasen.

Who is then outside, and who is knocking, Who can so softly, softly waken me? It is your darling, Arise and let me come in to you! Why should I stand here any longer? I see the dawn arrive, The dawn, two bright stars, With my darling would I gladly be, With my heart's most beloved! The maiden arose and let him in; She welcomed him as well: Welcome, my beloved boy, You have stood outside so long! She reached to him her snow-white hand. From afar a nightingale sang; The maiden began to weep. Oh, do not cry, my darling, Next year you shall be my own! My own shall you certainly be, As no one else on earth is. O Love on the green earth! I go to war on the green heath, The green heath that is so broad! It is there where the beautiful trumpets blow, There is my house of green grass!
