Song of a Girl Who Sought Love
  • Mother, it was here that I met a young lord
  • who left me with love and a martyr's torment.
  • Ah, mother, how I'm in love!
  • If I'm in love it's
  • because I sought it,
  • but he also caught it.
  • Ah, mother, how I'm in love!
  • Mother, it was here I met a young noble,
  • who left me in this state, all troubled.
  • Ah, mother, how I'm in love!
  • If I'm in love it's
  • because I sought it,
  • but he also caught it.
  • Ah, mother, how I'm in love!
  • Mother, it was here, on a day I deplore,
  • that he left me troubled – I wish he'd left more!
  • Ah, mother, how I'm in love!
  • If I'm in love it's
  • because I sought it,
  • but he also caught it.
  • Ah, mother, how I'm in love!
