Brun [English translation]

Brun rides to the maiden's home

Brun sleeps all alone

The maiden stands out waiting for him

It blows and it rains

In the north in the mountains, there rest also three northerners

Brun spreads out his blue cape

Brun sleeps all alone

And lifts the maiden up onto it

It blows and it rains

In the north in the mountains, there rest also three northerners

Brun rides to the rosy grove

Brun sleeps all alone

There he stops to rest awhile

It blows and it rains

In the north in the mountains, there rest also three northerners

Now listen, my maiden, to what I will tell you

Brun sleeps all alone

Here I have slayed fifteen maidens in the past

It blows and it rains

In the north in the mountains, there rest also three northerners

And Brun lay at the maiden's womb

Brun sleeps all alone

Until a sleep so sweet ran through him

It blows and it rains

In the north in the mountains, there rest also three northerners

The maiden undid her golden braids

Brun sleeps all alone

And she bound Brun's hands and feet

It blows and it rains

In the north in the mountains, there rest also three northerners

Stand up quickly, Brun

Brun sleeps all alone

I don't want to destroy you in your sleep

It blows and it rains

In the north in the mountains, there rest also three northerners

And the maiden took up her golden knife

Brun sleeps all alone

And she stabbed Brun right in his young heart

It blows and it rains

In the north in the mountains, there rest also three northerners

And now you shall lie here, both for dogs and for rams

Brun sleeps all alone

Still I will bear my name as a maiden

It blows and it rains

In the north in the mountains, there rest also three northerners

And now you shall lie here on the black ground

Brun sleeps all alone

Still I will bear my maiden gold

It blows and it rains

In the north in the mountains, there rest also three northerners
