Language: English

Our translations: GER

As I walk'd forth one May morning
To see the fields so pleasant and so gay,
O! there did I spy a young maiden sweet,
Among the violets that smell so sweet,
  smell so sweet,
  smell so sweet,
Among the violets that smell so sweet.

Als ich hinauszog des Morgens im Mai

Language: German (Deutsch) after the English

Als ich hinauszog des Morgens im Mai,
die Fluren vor mir so freundlich und froh,
da hab' ich erblickt' ein Mägdelein süß,
inmitten der Veilchen, die duften so süß,
duften so süß,
duften so süß,
inmitten von Veilchen, die duften so süß.
