Es wollt' ein Meyer meyen(original) |
| Es woLlt ein Meyer meyen |
| Wolt meyen auff grüner Heid |
| Was trug er auf sein Rücken? |
| Ein Sänsslein, das war breit |
| Damit wollt er abmeyen |
| All Blümlein auff grüner Heid |
| Als das ein Fräulein hörte |
| War sie fröhlich zur Stund |
| Sein Senselein tät er wetzen |
| Dreymal in einer Stund |
| Da was das Mägdlein fröhlich |
| Das er gut meyen kund |
| Sie sprach: «Ich hab ein Wieselein |
| Es ist aller Blümlein voll |
| Es liegt zwischen zweyen Bergen |
| Es wässert sich so wohl |
| Gott wolle mir bewahren |
| Der darauf meyen soll!» |
| Was zog sie von ihren Finger? |
| Von Gold ein Ringelein |
| «Sieh da, du edler Meyer |
| Das geb ich dir zu Lohn |
| Mein Meyer solltu bleiben |
| Den ganzen Sommer lang!» |
| (translation) |
| A Meyer wants to mean it |
| Wolt mean auff green heath |
| What was he carrying on his back? |
| A little seat, that was wide |
| He wanted to get rid of that |
| All the little flowers on the green heath |
| When a lady heard that |
| Was she happy at the time? |
| He would sharpen his little scythe |
| Three times in an hour |
| Since the girl was happy |
| That he well know |
| She said: "I have a little weasel |
| It's full of all the little flowers |
| It lies between two mountains |
| It waters so well |
| God protect me |
| Who should mean it! » |
| What did she pull from her fingers? |
| A little ring of gold |
| «Look there, you noble Meyer |
| I'll give you that as a reward |
| My Meyer should stay |
| The whole summer long!" |
