German translation Waldnachtigall, die im grünen Wäldchen singt, hast du nicht die Stimme eines Dorfburschen gehört, der sich verheiraten wollte? Aber er versteht nicht die Weise, der Dorfbursche, wie man lieben soll. Translation by Gerhard Weydt

English translation Nightingale of the woods, that sings in the green grove, have you not heard the voice of a village lad, who wanted to get married? But he doesn’t know the way, the village lad, how one should make love. Translation by Gerhard Weydt
