Original text and translations
German text
- Die grüne Hopfenranke, sie schlängelt auf der Erde hin.
- Die junge, schöne Dirne, so traurig ist ihr Sinn!
- Du höre, grüne Ranke! Was hebst du dich nicht himmelwärts?
- Du höre, schöne Dirne! Was ist so schwer dein Herz?
- Wie hobe sich die Ranke, der keine Stütze Kraft verleiht
- Wie wäre die Dirne fröhlich, wenn ihr der Liebste weit?
English translation
(Cayuga Vocal Ensemble, with minor alterations)
The green hop-vine creeps along the ground.
The beautiful young maiden — so sorrowful is her heart!
Listen, green vine, why don’t you climb toward the heavens?
Listen, beautiful maiden, why is your heart so heavy?
How can a vine climb that has no support to hold it up?
How could the maiden be happy if her lover is far away?
