Early one morning before the sun arises
Before the birds begin to sing
The mountain troll proposes to the fair young knight
and she had a false speech
Herr Abubu, herr Abubu, will you marry me
for all that I'll give you so gladly?
If you want you well answer only yes or no
If you want to or not:
To you I'll give twelve fast horses
That stand in the pink grove
They never had been saddled up
nor had a bridle in their mouths
