1 There's one that I love dearly,
And I can tell you this,
If I could own that maiden sweet,
With face so lovely, form so neat,
My heart would burst with bliss.
La la la, la la la.
My heart would burst with bliss.
2 Believe me that I love her
Beyond all others far,
Her cheek is like the lily, yet
The reddest roses there are set,
Her eye is like a star.
La la la, la la la.
Her eye is like a star.
3 I feel my face a-glowing
When she is coming nigh
And when at me her glances dart,
With sudden pleasing pain I start,
Beside myself am I.
La la la, la la la.
Beside myself am I.
