Why boast, fair maiden, tell me why?
Why swell with pride beneath the sky?
Why boast, fair maiden, why, oh why?
Why does pride reside?

Your cheeks blush pink, a rosy hue,
Your eyes once bright, now stained with dew.
Why crimson tears, now streaming through?
Why this redness, tell me true?
Why crimson tears, now streaming through?
Why boast, fair maiden, tell me why?
Why swell with pride beneath the sky?

Your eyes, a fountain, love's cascade,
Your eyes, a fountain, unafraid.
Your glance, so bold, what makes it fade?
Your glance, so bold, now seems betrayed.
Your glance, so bold, what makes it fade?
What fault of ours, has brought this shade?
What wrongs have we that you've displayed?
I cannot grasp, my heart dismayed.
I cannot grasp, my heart betrayed.
I cannot grasp, my heart dismayed.
I cannot grasp, my heart betrayed.
Why boast, fair maiden, tell me why?
Why swell with pride beneath the sky?
