Original text and translations

German text

Wahre, wahre deinen Sohn,

Nachbarin, vor Wehe,

weil ich ihn mit schwarzem Aug'

zu bezaubern gehe.

O wie brennt das Auge mir,

das zu Zünden fordert!

Flammet ihm die Seele nicht --

deine Hütte lodert.

German text by Georg Friedrich Daumer (1800-1875)

Based on a text in Russian by Anonymous/Unidentified Artist [text unavailable]

English translation

Protect, protect your son,

my neighbor, from woe;

for I go with my black eyes

to enchant him.

O how my eyes burn

to inflame his passion!

If his soul will not ignite,

your hut will catch fire.
