Original text and translations

German text

An jeder Hand die Finger

hatt' ich bedeckt mit Ringen,

die mir geschenkt mein Bruder

in seinem Liebessinn.

Und einen nach dem andern

gab ich dem schönen,

aber unwürdigen Jüngling hin.

German text by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800-1875)

Based on a text in Unknown Language by Anonymous/Unidentified Artist, given as "Latvian-Lithuanian" [text unavailable]

English translation

On each hand were my fingers

bedecked with rings

that my brother had bestowed on me

with love.

And one after another

did I give to that handsome

but unworthy lad.
