Oy, how wife with husband

lives with no harmony

How wife with husband

And in the green garden she brought him

Plagued her husband

Yes, to the green garden she has brought him

Oh, in the green garden

Her husband she had hung

She hung her husband

Alone she went home

Oh to court she had approached

And on the bench she has sat.

To court she had approached

On the bench she sat

Oh, on the bench she sat

And bitterly wept.

On the bench she sat

Oh, she is cursing her life,

once she lived with a husband.

She is cursing her life

for when she lived with her husband

Oh, while with her husband she

was a housewife.

When she was with husband

she was a housewife

Oh,When she was with a husband

Oh, Without a husband wife is

but a bitter poor woman.

She went to the green garden

And called her husbands name

Oh, husband, you are my husband

You are my darling

You are husband, my husband

Yes, you are my darling

Oh, you are my darling

Yes, we shall go home.
