Liebesqual | O, Du blütenschöne Blume!

Translation by Therese Albertine Luise von Jacob (1797 - 1870)

Момак куне мајку дјевоја

Language: Serbian (Српски)

Ој ти Цвето, лепо цвеће!
Бог убио мајку твоју!
Која тебе таку роди,
И посла те насред села,
Где јунаци вино пију,
Млади момци камен мећу;
Где невесте коло воде,
А девојке песме поју;
Те ја тебе онде виде,
Да ме у век срце боли.

Our translations: ENG

O, Du blütenschöne Blume! - 
Gott soll Deine Mutter strafen,
Die so lieblich Dich geboren,
Und Dich mitten in das Dorf schickt,
Wo die Helden zechend sitzen,
Junge Burschen Steine werfen,
Bräute Ringeltänze tanzen,
Und die Jungfrau'n Lieder singen!
Dorten war's, wo ich Dich sahe!
Ewig schmerzt davon das Herz mir!
