Stets i Truure [English translation]

Always in sorrow I have to live -

tell me, how did I deserve it

because my darling - has become untrue -

I have to bear it with patience

Although you are out of my sight

but not out of my mind

You could have believed me -

that I have been true

True love comes from the heart

True love - it burns hot

And how full of bliss is one,

who does not know what it is to love

So play, you musicians,

play that string music

To please my darling

No matter, whom it may annoy

And until the mountains will bow down

and the hills will sink

Until death will take me

until then I will love you

Until the millstone bears vines

and from them flows a sweet wine,

until the thistles bear figs,

that's how long you shall be mine

Until the thistles bear figs,

that's how long you shall be mine
