Original text and translations

English text

You gentle nymphs that on the meadows play,
and oft relate the love f shepherds young;
Come, sit you down, for if you please to stay,
now you may hear an uncouth passion sung,
an uncouth passion.

A youth there is, and I am that poor groom
that's fall'n in love, that's fall'n in love
that's fall'n in love, that's fall'n in love,
in love, and cannot tell, and cannot tell,
and cannot, cannot, cannot, cannot tell
with whom.
