from Volkslieder (Folksongs)
Translation by Therese Albertine Luise von Jacob (1797 - 1870)

Да ј' у мене, што ј' у цара благо
Language: Serbian (Српски) 
Да ј' у мене, лале Лазо! што ј' у цара благо,
Ја би знала, лале Лазо! шта би куповала:
Купила би, лале Лазо! украј Саве башчу;
Ја би знала, лале Лазо, шта б' у њу садила:
Садила би, лале Лазо! зумбул и каранфил.
Да ј' у мене, лале Лазо! што ј' у цара благо,
Ја би знала, лале Лазо! шта би куповала:
Купила би, лале Лазо! нежењена Лажу,
Да ми буде, лале Лазо! башчован у башчи.

Hätt' ich doch, ach, Laso!
All des Zaren Schätze,
Wüßte wohl, ach, Laso!
Was dafür ich kaufte!
Kaufte mir, ach, Laso!
An der Saw' ein Gärtlein.
Wüßte wohl, ach, Laso!
Was ich drinnen pflanzte.
Pflanzte drin, ach, Laso!
Hyazynth und Nelken.

Dann den Knaben Laso!
Daß er mir, ach, Laso!
Gärtner würd' im Gärtlein!
