Original text and translations

English text

A poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree, sing willow…
Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee, sing willow…
Her soft tears fell from her and softened the stones
Let nobody blame him, his scorm I approve,
He was born to be fair, I to die for his love… sing willow…
