The Faithful Hussar
Es war einmal ein treuer Husar
der liebt sein Mädchen ein ganzes Jahr
ein ganzes Jahr und noch viel mehr
die Liebe nahm kein Ende mehr
Und als man ihm die Botschaft bracht
dass sein Herzliebchen am Sterben lag
da liess er all sein Hab und Gut
und eilte seinem Herzliebchen zu
Translation:
Once there was a faithful hussar
Who loved his maiden for a whole year
A whole year and even more
His love won't ever cease
And when he received the message
That his sweetheart dear was dying
All his goods and chattels he left behind
And hastened to his sweetheart dear
The Faithful Hussar
Once there was a loyal hussar
Who loved his girl for a whole year
A whole year and even more
His love would never end
And when he got the news
That his sweetheart was on her deathbed
He left all his stuff behind
And rushed to his sweetheart's side
