English text
A poor soul sat sighing, by a sycamore tree,
Sing willow, willow!
With his hand in his bosom,
his head on his knee:
O willow, willow!
O willow, willow!
He sighed and sobb'd, and after each groane,
I'm dead to all joys since my truelove is gone;
O willow, willow!
O willow, willow!
Come, all ye forsaken, and mourn now with me,
Who speaks of a false love, mine's falser than she.
O willow, willow!
O willow, willow!
O willow, willow!
