Was hab' ich arme Dirn' gethan?
Language:
German
Was hab' ich arme Dirn' gethan?
Die Leute sehn mich flüsternd an;
Kann ich dafür, daß süß im Wald
Der muntern Vöglein Lied erschallt?
Ich ging ja nur im Waldesgrün,
Und sah die muntern Vöglein ziehn;
Kann ich dafür, daß mich allda
Der schöne braune Knab' ersah?
Der schöne Knab', mit braunem Haar,
Bot Blumen mir und Waldbeer dar,
Und lachte mich so freundlich an.
Was hab' ich arme Dirn' gethan?

Ah me, poor maid, what have I done?
Language:
English
Ah me, poor maid, what have I done?
that friends, once kind, my glance should shun?
am I to blame, that all around
the merry songsters' lays resound?
I only sought the leafy grove
to hear the sweet birds sing above,
am I to blame, that on my way
I met a darkeyed boy that day?
The darkeyed boy from o'er the sea,
the fairest flow'rs he cull'd for me,
his smile was bright as ray of sun,
ah me, poor maid, what have I done?
From the Bohm score.
