Der Spielmann - Part II
"Ach, Spielmann, lieber Spielmann mein!
Das muß ich dir nun klagen:
Um ein schönfarbig Blümelein
hat mich mein Bruder erschlagen!
Im Walde bleicht mein junger Leib,
mein Bruder freit ein wonnig Weib!"
O Leide, Leide, weh!
Excerpt from ‘The Minstrel’
O minstrel, dear minstrel mine,
I must now make my plaint to you:
My brother slew me for the sake
Of a tiny flower of beautiful hue!
My young bones bleach in the forest,
My brother woos a lovely bride!
