ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
THE MILLER’S DAUGHTER
If my
beloved sweetheart
loves two or three
and keeps them content
each market and each fair;
well don't let him think
that
this troubles me,
I am as free as him
to love two or three.
This year I will not marry,
nor yet coquetting
go,
young boys are most deceiving
as they can speak fairly ;
and first they praise your beauty
but then your
faith abuse,
the joy of each young girl
is to be able to choose.
If there are three or four
girls
fond of him,
well I have four and
fifteen admirers in the town;
and some are for my money,
and more are for myself;
I
only smile at them,
and keep my love reserved.
He says that I am guilty
for I blushed so brightly,
but
I made answer rightly --
"A guilty cheek turns pale"
and so I'll say to his face
and any man's brave face,
'The
joy of the miller's daughter
is to choose only one.'
'The joy of the miller's daughter
is to choose only one.'
'The
joy of the miller's daughter
is to love only one.'
