from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Marti Sirata
Language: Lithuanian (Lietuvių kalba) 
Ko užsipuolei,
jaunas bernuželi,
ant manęs, siratėlės?

O aš neturiu
tėvo nei močiutės,
nei jokios giminėlės.

Auga girelėj
žalias ąžuolėlis,
tai mano ne tėvelis.

Liemuo ne tėvelis,
šakos ne rankelės,
lapeliai ne žodeliai. 

Cit, ne verk, merguže,
Manu lelijėlė,
dėl wargû tawo dėnužiû
dėnuži&uogon" 

Ar tu moki verpti?
Staklužes taisyti?
ir žalioj' lankužej' grėbti

Aš ir moku verpti,
Staklužes taisyti,
ir žalioj' lankužej' grėbti.
