Along the field as we came by
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Oh, when I was in love with you
The night is freezing fast
When I was one and twenty
Die maanden dat ik hield van jou
Fatsoenlijk was en kloek
Was wat men ’t meest verbazen zou
Hoe goed ik mij gedroeg
En nu ik niet verliefd meer ben
In ’t oude me verstrik
Ben ik al snel weer volgens hen
Geheel mijn oude ik
Oh, when I was in love with you,
Then I was clean and brave,
And miles around the wonder grew
How well did I behave.
And now the fancy passes by,
And nothing will remain,
And miles around they’ll say that I
Am quite myself again
