Die Liebende | Wär' ich Arme, ach! ein frisches Bächlein

Translation from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Опет жеља дјевојчина

Language: Serbian (Српски)

Тужна јадна, да сам вода ладна!
Ја би знала, гди би извирала:
Украј Саве, украј воде ладне,
Куд пролазе житарице лађе;
Да ја видим моје мило драго,
Цвати ли му ружа на корману,
Вене ли му каранфил у руци,
Што сам тужна у суботу брала,
У недељу моме драгу дала.

Die Liebende

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Serbian (Српски)

Our translations: ENG

Wär' ich Arme, ach! ein frisches Bächlein,
Wüßte wohl, wo ich entspringen möchte!
An der Sawa, an dem kühlen Strome,
Wo vorbeiziehn die Getreideschiffe;
Daß ich meinen süßen Lieben sähe:
Ob noch blüht die Ros' am Steuerruder,
In der Hand die Nelk' ihm schon verwelkte!
Alles, was ich, ach! am Samstag pflückte,
Sonntags gab ich's, daß den Freund es schmückte!
