Auf der dritten Saite III
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Norwegian (Nynorsk)
Signe heisst das Mädel mein, das schönste im ganzen Land. Glanz im Auge und Lust im Sinn mein Herz zu dem ihren sich fand! Signe, Signe, blondes Kind, der Schelm dir steckt im Blute, es thut ja so weh im Herzen mir, wenn dir nicht ist froh zu Mute. Signe, Signe, blondes Kind, nun musst du weinen nimmer, bald ich komme, wirds Frühjahr gut - dann sollst du spielen nur immer! Dann sollst du greifen zum Hirtenhorn und blasen was du im Stand, und dann sollst du werden mein eigen Weib mein Herz zu dem deinen sich fand.
