At the clear fountain
While going for a walk
I found the water so beautiful
I bathed in it

For a long time, I have loved you
Never will I forget you

Under the leaves of an oak tree
I dried myself
On the highest branch
A nightingale was singing

For a long time, I have loved you
Never will I forget you

Sing, nightingale, sing
You, who has a merry heart
You feel like laughing
Me, I feel like crying

For a long time, I have loved you
Never will I forget you

I lost my friend
Without deserving it
Over a bouquet of roses
That I refused

For a long time, I have loved you
Never will I forget you

I wish that the rose
Were still on the rosebush
And that my sweetheart
Still loved me

For a long time, I have loved you
Never will I forget you
