English text

I know a maiden fair to see,
Take care! Take care!
She can both false and friendly be,
Beware! Beware!
Trust her not,
She is fooling thee!

She has two eyes, so soft and brown,
Take care! Take care!
She gives a side-glance and looks down,
Beware! Beware!
Trust her not,
She is fooling thee!

And she has hair of golden hue,
Take care! Take care!
And what she says, it is not true,
Beware! Beware!
Trust her not,
She is fooling thee!
