And if Mr. Holkin has you tempted

Wishes me roses

Then you shall never again live with me

One night, he plays with the others where they sleep

Oh, if but i had a fully faithful friend

Wishes me roses

One night, he plays with the others where they sleep

Grant her these wine bottles

Wishes me roses

Ask her to drink her sorrows from her mind

The false maiden walked to the lake shore

There she drank the wine and filled them with water
