Йозеф Гайдн - My mother bids me bind my hair - текст песни (слова)

My mother bids me bind my hair 
 With bands of rosy hue,
 Tie up my sleeves with ribbons rare,
 And lace my bodice blue.
 For why, she cries, sit still and weep
 While others dance and play?
 Alas, I can scarce go or creep,
 While Lubin is away.
 
 'Tis sad to think the days are gone,
 When those we love were near;
 I sit upon this mossy stone
 And sigh when none can hear:
 And while I spin my flaxen thread
 And sing my simple lay,
 The village seems asleep or dead
 Now Lubin is away.
