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
