Leave-Taking
Dear
angel, oh, I take leave of you
We
have to part
So
give [me] again a kiss
For
I am already off to a distant land
Ach! Och! Ech!
She
was beautiful and blameless
She
was so sweet as to be frightening
When
I saw her for the first time
I
cried out “Ach[1]!”
When she talked to me for a little
bit afterwards
[saying] “My only love”
Intoxicated by her caress
I whispered “Och[2]!”
Now
she has been my wife
Already
for three years
So
I just wave my hand
And
say “Ech[3]!”
