Ach Mädchen, liebes Mädchen, Wie schwarz dein Auge ist! Fast fürcht' ich, es verzaubert Mich einst voll arger List. "Und wär' mein Auge schwärzer, Um vieles schwärzer noch, Dich, Liebster mein, verzaubern, Ich tät' es niemals doch." Die Kräh' auf jener Eiche, Sieh, wie sie Eicheln pickt! Wer weiß, wen einst der Himmel Zum Bräutigam dir schickt! "Und sprich, wen soll er schicken? Ich gab ja dir mein Wort, Weißt, unterm grünen Baume, Bei unsrer Hütte dort." Wohlan, so laß uns wandern, Du wanderst frisch mit mir; Ein Kleid von grüner Farbe, Mein Mädchen, kauf' ich dir. Ein Kleid von grüner Farbe, Das auch nicht gar zu lang: So kannst du mit mir wandern, Nichts hindert dich im Gang. Wir wollen lustig wandern, Bergüber und talein; Die [freien, großen]1 Wälder Sind [unsre]2 Kämmerlein.
1 Brahms: "großen, freien"

Ai noia, estimada noia, que negres són els teus ulls! Quasi em fa por que un dia m’embruixin plens d’un maligne artifici. “I encara que els meus ulls fossin més negres, més negres del que són ara, a tu, estimat meu, embruixar-te, no ho faria mai.“ El corb damunt aquell roure, mira com picoteja les glans! Qui sap qui un dia el cel t’enviarà com promès! “I digues, qui m’hauria d’enviar? Jo t’he donat la meva paraula, ja ho saps, sota l’arbre verd, allà prop de la nostra cabana.” Doncs bé, anem a passejar, tu caminaràs a bon pas al meu costat; un vestit de color verd, noia estimada, et compraré. Un vestit de color verd que no sigui massa llarg: així podràs caminar amb mi i que res t’entrebanqui el pas. Passejarem alegrement a través de muntanyes i valls; els grans i espaiosos boscos seran la nostra petita cambra.
