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
