English text
- A mellow bell pears near,
- It has so sweet a sound;
- I know a maiden dear
- With voice as full and round
- A sunlit alm shines clear,
- With clover blossoms sweet;
- There dwells my maiden dear
- And there my love I meet.
- There flying with no fear
- The swallows pass all day,
- And fast, my maiden dear,
- Sees chamois haste away.
- I cannot linger here,
- I cannot wait below;
- To seek my maiden dear.
- I, to the alm must go.
- The mountain's call I hear,
- And up the height I bound;
- I know my maiden dear
- Will mark my Juchhé sound.
- Rejoicing come I here
- My flaxen-haired sweet-heart;
- I love thee maiden dear,
- Nay! Bid me not depart!
